It is really tough for little films like this.  The big chains are oftentimes tied into large distributors, and you end up with a few arthouse screens here and there, and even these are spread a long ways apart.

Over the weekend I saw "The World's Fastest Indian".  A little indie film - it has Anthony Hopkins starring in it, so it isn't like this is a student film or anything.   An excellent film with a great story, and yet there are damned few screens out there that are showing it.  Most people have never heard of it.  It is like this all the time with independent films.

I am wondering if enough interest comes up whether this sort of film could come to some cable channel somewhere.  One of the Discovery channels, or perhaps National Geographic.
