“Unless you happen to be Tom Cruise, launching a new movie today is a study in frustration. Or self-destruction.”
So states one veteran indie film distributor commenting on the current film market (see below), whose testimony is supported by the filmmakers and wannabes gathered this week at the Tribeca Festival.

Indie filmmakers view Tribeca as a delicious launching pad, but this year its agenda is also crammed with streamers, music, audio awards, assorted activist presentations and even celebrity sightings: Taylor Swift will introduce her new short and Wednesday night saw Jennifer Lopez tout her new documentary Halftime, which was the festival’s opening film but, even with Lopez’s promotional clout, will not have a theatrical release. It debuts on Netflix next Tuesday.
