“In these digital days, it seems anyone can direct. But with hundreds of microbudgeted movies made each year, demand for venues and audiences is way up. Many films don’t reach the festival circuit, let alone get a theatrical release or rack space at Blockbuster. Some go straight to DVD. Some find a specialized audience on the Internet. Some go nowhere. The measure of “success” has come to mean something other than a Spider-Man 3-sized opening weekend for indie filmmakers, who have become creative marketers to rally a fan base.”
