It only makes sense for fans/critics to--when given the opportunity--help in distributing work they really believe in. Thanks Noralil,

Worse perhaps than promoting indie filmmakers who actually have some artistic merit, is falling the way of journalistic laziness. No one in this film journalism business is objective. It's just different degrees of tempered subjectivity. I think this is a great idea, and although I have my hesitation's about Swanberg's work from time to time, I think the fact you've given him an outlet is well done. Good job, dudes.
