Joss Whedon Releases New Film On Demand

Rambo Tribble (1273454) writes "Popular director Joss Whedon has taken the film world by surprise by releasing his latest offering, 'In Your Eyes', available for download on the same day it premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The new release comes from Whedon's own "micro studio", Bellwether Pictures, and is featured on Vimeo as a $5 rental, (free trailer). Whedon mused, 'It's exciting for us because we get to explore yet another new form of distribution — and we get $5.' Mr. Whedon has a history of pushing the delivery envelope, as with Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, in 2008."

    And he also has this weird fetish for 100-lb. waifs beating up hordes of 250-lb. guys that drives me crazy.

    You say that like it's a bad thing.

    You do, however, lack the writers, acting talent

    Lacking those doesn't seem to have stopped a lot of big studios either.
