    Awesome very uplifting. There's still hope for my film. It's great to know there's no one way of breaking in to get notice somehow. Film Courage keep up the good work.

      Lunerversal We haven't heard of many independent filmmakers sticking with one off screenings and short theatrical runs for a year's time. Pretty amazing what Lydia and her team have been able to achieve. We're happy to be able to share this with you.

      I'm in the middle of writing a screenplay myself, I really hope that the story I make can resonate with people on a personal level, as well as be exciting

    Since the 10th Century, pilgrims have walked to shrine of the Apostle St. James at Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. The routes to the shrine originate from all over Europe. The routes are known as "Caminos," or Ways. Walking a Camino was a traditional penance and pilgrims received an indulgence to pardon their sin. Today, walkers who complete at least 100 kilometers (62 miles) of a Camino earn their Compostela certificate when they reach Santiago. They carry a pilgrim passport or credencial which is stamped along the way.

    I'm in the process of planning a 30 city Roadshow and finding this clip is very inspiring I really like her a lot she is what I would like to refer to as a grinder you got to get out there and do yourself because in the long run once Hollywood realizes the work you've been doing and who you are you really can call more shots I would like to imagine

    Isn’t this the way most movies were distributed till the 80’s or 90’s? Premiere in one town, then gradually move across the country?

    2:34 I don't see it that way. I don't think people go to the movies to see an "uplifting" film. I think they rather seek mindless, not challanging entertainment as a part of their escapism. That's why superhero movies do so well.

      bqgin depends on the mood and who you’re with. When you’re with friends teenagers it’s fun to see a scary flick. If you at the movies alone you could be in the mood for something uplifting. Superhero movies do good with everyone

      @@bqgin Brutal films uplift me. I feel they're telling me the truth. Feel-good movies do the opposite for me. It's like they're trying to tell me a lie. That's why I don't like most 50s movies (from the States).
      I like when a character goes through hell who may or may not come out alive or successful.
