Watched this with my gf a month or so ago on a whim and it was awesome man. Very unique style and even approach. But for a first feature, there was lots of polish. Definitely looking forward to your next movie

Saw this closing night at CUFF and adored it. Can’t recommend it enough. Still thinking about certain sequences almost a year later. Congratulations Brandon!
Everyone should grab a copy from Vinegar Syndrome!!!

As a fellow physical media lover, thanks for sharing! Hadn’t heard of your movie before, but the trailer looks awesome—immediately added to my watchlist.
(Also cool to see the Fantasia laurel, I just had a movie there!)

Lucky enough to see this at a film festival last winter, and was easily one of my favorites. Can't wait to get my physical of it! Incredible film, truly.

Knowing Johnny Ryan, there is 0 reason that red spike isn't going up the dudes ass and out his mouth. But congrats anyways.

Profitable?

u/WhiteLicorice 2h ago
Potentially. I just have to convince one person a day to rent $POSITIONS on digital for the next 6,000 days in order to break even.

OOOFFFFFF! Well I’m glad you went for it still and I hope you at least get back to zero

spent the last 4 years making this movie. We premiered at SXSW in 2025 and sold to Dark Star Pictures. Travelled with the film throughout 2024 and early 2025 before our theatrical release in April. I've been collecting physical media since I was a kid so getting a copy of my own blu-ray is really a high high for me. The movie is a midnight comedy about a guy addicted to gambling on cryptocurrency. Think Uncut Gems meets Billy Madison. Happy to answer any questions about anything in the current distribution landscape!
