Ted Hope on Anthony Kaufman’s Substack

I have come to feel that "indie" & docs don't want to live on streamers -- or at least shouldn't. Sure, people seem to value convenience over the quality of experience, but until we bring context and community to the streaming environment, I feel the platform and the product are at odds with each other. Sure, I share the dream of the perfect streamer for my taste -- the very thing Keri & Roy write about -- but as you point out, the math doesn't add up. Instead of the experiment you recommend, I encourage film lovers to just get out of the house and support their community theater. I believe they will be much happier doing it, regardless of what they see.
