Filmmakers Maurizio Benazzo and Nick Day, whose film Shortcut to Nirvana is being screened during the Berlin Film Festival, discovered how challenging self-distribution is for independents. After successful theatrical releases across 100 American cities and obtaining North America distribution, Benazzo and Day are now looking for international distribution and need help managing all of their film rights - which is why they joined inDplay. "We really want to warn other indie filmmakers against trying to do this alone. From now on, we're working with inDplay," said Nick Day.
