There is one industry that, if it pulled its weight, could completely change the face of independent cinema and make it thrive again through word of mouth.

Where else are thousands upon thousands of people held captive for hours on end on a daily basis than when they fly?

Airplanes, as well as being modes of transport are also entertainment hubs and enclosed entertainment capsules.

Some airlines aren’t yet providing in-air Wi-Fi as a means of escape for their passengers. These airlines, while they have no vested interest — Could substitute the blockbuster entertainment movies on their platforms for independent releases instead.

That is, for every ‘Ant-Man’ — Replace it with an unknown indie.

Instead of subjecting people to ‘Justice League’ — show the work of an emerging filmmaker… Or several? Don’t limit the choice.

This mere act of goodwill and generosity could be considered an effective marketing strategy on behalf of the airline but it also is just a measure of goodwill that should be looked at and endorsed — just because.

If I was an effective producer — this is where I would look to distribute.

I’m sure with enough alcohol and snacks, the passengers themselves would be enlightened and probably wouldn’t know the difference.
