On the contrary, people constantly make clever indie movies like the 80s-90s boom, just too many of them, and they have no marketing budget to make you aware of them.

You could watch them on IFC or Bravo, but you don\u2019t, which is why the Independent Film Channel doesn\u2019t show independent films anymore and Bravo channel-drifted to reality shows for gay yuppies and associated hags

There\u2019s probably an independent film festival near you, but you don\u2019t go to it, and there\u2019s maybe someone at a local newspaper or blog that went themselves and wrote about the movies, but you didn\u2019t even read that, did you?

Anyway one of my roommates in LA was in the middle of realizing he had become a widget to evaluate Sundance submissions
