Self-promotion Vs. Hollywood Mega-blitz

A month ago, Terry Gilliam promoted his new movie Tideland by walking around New York panhandling.


Yesterday, David Lynch was sitting at the corner Hollywood and LaBrea with a cow and a poster of Laura Dern, promoting his new film The Inland Empire.


The lengths filmmakers must go to promote their films without a Hollywood studio backing them. And these guys are icons!

On the flip side, I can't walk five feet without seeing an ad for Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause.
