I got very close with some major distributors, but the film's dicey subject matter and lack of star power made a theatrical release increasingly unlikely. Then, the Global Asylum offered to distribute my movie on video and DVD through their deal with Hollywood Video. Realizing this was the best way to get a provocative, award-winning film in front of a broad American audience, I did the deal. I had to deliver an R-rated movie. The film is discreet.
Sex is suggested rather than shown.
That's the distributors breaking the news to me. And they're getting nervous because the movie has to go to the duplicators in less than two weeks. They just didn't like the number of head bobs and pelvic thrusts. Exasperated, I demand to know specifically what they want removed. Well, the MPAA tries not to deal in specifics.
