I mentioned Kevin Smith films in the other thread, but he has been ranting about this for some time. Thinking about his controversy at Sundance with Red State. Leading up to that film, and since, he has talked a lot about the possibility of crowdfunding films and the like.

Kevin Smith obviously isn't a huge name in Hollywood, but he has been groundbreaking on many things. He started out as indie, went Hollywood, and realized what a mess that was and is going back to those roots.

And he's figured out that he can make the movies he wants for "his" audience and be very happy...without making billions at the box office.

Not that he would turn down billions...but he understands the system.
