Watch Kevin Smith Talk Up His Red State Plans – The director’s full Sundance talk about why he’s self distributing

25th January 2011 By Tim Isaac

There’s been a huge amount of interest all across the web in Kevin Smith’s plans to self-distribute his new movie, Red State. Yesterday we reported on how he took to the stage at Sundance following the world premiere screening of his flick to announce plans for a premium priced road tour of the movie, which will see it play one night in various US cities in March and April – followed by a Q&A with Smith himself – before a more conventional release in October. Much of his reasoning behind this is because he’s fed up with the way movies are ditributed, particularly the fact it normally costs a huge amount more to advertise one of his movies than it does to make it. So he wants to try something different, eventually morphing himself from director to producer and distributor, with plans to find a way to get indie movies to the public in an effective but comparatively inexpensive way. His ideas have provoked various reactions, from outright support to others saying Smith may be getting a bit too big for his boots. But perhaps it’d help you to make up your own mind if you could hear what Smith actually said! Well now you can, as we’ve embedded a Youtube video below, posted by someone who recorded the director’s entire Sundance talk about why he’s doing what he’s doing, so click below to take a look (but just beware, it’s a chunky 26 minutes!).
