Why wasn’t the film picked up in more cities for a wider distribution?
Before we released the movie theatrically, we made our distribution deal with Warner Brothers, who took video and television. They are way too big to handle a movie like ours theatrically, and this wasn’t really a national theatrical kind of film anyway. There were several other smaller companies that wanted to release it theatrically, but we would have had to give them video and TV rights as well, and we just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work with a major studio on our first film. We distributed the movie ourselves to theaters.
