No wonder Americans have this "dumb" reputation overseas.
Detailed example:
A great insightful film by "Dialogue Heavy Pictures" (funny - it's like already a red flag for distributors) DISFIGURED.

So there is this foreign distributor and let's say he has 100 films to choose from to sell overseas. Which one would he toss out without putting into his DVD player? The one that shows two people talking to each other, non-stop? or the one where somebody scraped his wife's brains off the wall or something...
So all we, overseas, get to see are the stupid action movies, while there are a whole bunch of great stuff happening over here, that nobody knows about.
And once again, I understand why "underground" is being called underground.
It sucks.

What IS interesting though. Is that here, in the US you CAN find dialogue-heavy foreign films. So they do have an audience.
Then, why that audience wouldn't pick up the American-made film? Because they automatically assume that foreing would be better. I mean c'mon there is a whole "foreing" section for movies. The people who are looking for insightful films go straight there, for the most part.
That's just wrong.
But understandable. The little indie-film would so get lost among all the other monsters on the shelf.
