VACHON AT SXSW
IndieWIRE editor Eugene Hernandez, who moderated a panel discussion with producer Christine Vachon at the SXSW Film Festival, has posted some of her comments online:
“‘Filmmakers are starting to realize that [by] getting your film [on HBO], more people are going to see it that way than are going to see it at the Angelika [Film Center] with the subway rumbling underneath — I am starting to think, let’s get off the theatrical high horse.’
“Continuing she explained, ‘Ultimately I guess I feel like independent distribution and exhibition is really changing and I don’t want to be a dinosaur about it, and if I am faced with a little release in like 10 theaters with my movie [versus] a nice splashy cable release, I am going to go for the cable release.’”
