A lot of filmmakers complain that distribution is a mug's game; that the system is so controlled by a small group of corporations that independent efforts are at a disadvantage. That's true but as Bob Elisberg notes over on The Huffington Post, some producers — like producer-writer-director Brendan Foley — are finding new ways to get their wares to audiences. (In the interest of Full Disclosure, Bob notes that Brendan is a friend of his. So I guess I should note that Bob and Brendan are both friends of mine. You don't catch Robert Novak being this honest.)
