Quote relevant to film censorship:
"Small distributors have become like mini-studios. There's an expectation at this point, with these runaway successes like Napoleon Dynamite, that every film needs to make tons and tons of money to be successful. But the old-school independent movies like Mysterious Skin, movies that attack a challenging subject, need companies like Tartan." Gregg Araki (www.imdb.com, 2005) |
