What’s inside The Andrew Robinson Interview?
Mattoid Entertainment makes filmmaking history today with its global release

Listen to the Movie: In the Darkness (1:03)
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)

Writing and directing a film for an online audience (11:37)
“Into the Darkness is Act I of a much larger story.” (13:48)

– 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.

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)

if I can get my shoulder back. I mean I was a wreck. I was in the operating room
two days ago….I just came up against a whole other challenge,
but the good thing, the good news is that when I went down, I was on top.” (29:22)
