- Why did Andrew Robinson create a film for online release? (3:08)
- “The theatrical world and traditional distribution angles are controlled;
they have roots that go back 10, 20, 30 years and they are difficult to navigate…” (4:08) - “What if we did it differently and tried something that no one had ever done before -
taking the Internet seriously, not as an after thought – really looking at what drives it,
what do people turn to the Internet to see and then crafting something tailor-made
for that type of application and audience.” (5:08) - “The biggest name going right now in that space is Hulu and we knew that IndieFlix
had a relationship with Hulu and that through discussion we could open the door.” (5:50) - “With IndieFlix’s help we were able to craft and know how we were going to be able to
roll a movie out via the Internet in a distribution sense even before we started filming.” (6:09) - Tips for making a film for Internet audiences (8:45)
- Writing and directing a film for an online audience (11:37)

- At the heart of the storyline: “There are forces greater than ourselves
– be it good or bad – that are among us
that may or may not have our best intentions at heart.” (14:37) - “Things may not be as they seem.” (15:42)
- “The audience’s eyes and ears are the detective’s.
He figures stuff out as the audience figures it out.” (16:15) - From the ashes of a blackened, fire-torn forest arises newly-gnarled trees
and a surreal setting for In the Darkness. (18:05) - How a $1,500 camera can lighten up your filmmaking world. (24:15)
- “Everyone said we were crazy, so we just said,
‘All right, we are crazy. We’ll embrace it.’” (27:52 & 30:23) - How will the online release of In the Darkness change the game
in film distribution and marketing? (30:30) - “For the independent filmmaker, places like Hulu and IndieFlix
or itunes – it’s the new frontier.” (31:22) - What do you wear for the virtual Red Carpet online premiere
of In the Darkness? (31:40)
