Would you know if it did?

Waters himself wasn't really appreciated for a decade or so. Movies with zero marketing budget don't get recognized immediately.

I very strongly believe that it has happened. Actually, I know that it has.

There are people out there using the technology to make very good films on very low budgets.

The problem isn't getting the films made, and it's not distributing them. It's in connecting the viewers to the films. "Marketing" in the past has been the way that's been done. But we need something else now, a new method of film discovery.

Good stuff is going completely unseen, and that's a real shame.
