Here’s a television interview about Rockhouse Pictures and the movie venture. I can’t embed the video for some reason so I’ll have to give you a link to the full page. The video is in the top right corner.
I wasn’t quite awake when I did this so please excuse the rambling.
None of these interviews so far really detail the scope of what we are attempting with this venture. It’s not just one movie, but three at a minimum. The distribution strategy and business model is different than what I have seen implemented so far.

Chris,
Good luck on your features. Interesting that you have a three picture minimum. I have a similar approach for Sonlight Pictures. I think that each film will build upon the next and you can’t really determine the success of the model until the cumulative effect of all of the movies combined can be evaluated.
Can’t wait to see what you have on the slate next.

Thanks, Pete. Yeah, it really does depend on the cumulative effect. In a way, it’s too much work to just do one. You build up so much infrastructure and momentum getting a movie made that to tear it all down after the first one seems like you’ve wasted a lot of energy. We’ll see what happens. At the very least, it is guaranteed not to be boring.
