There's a sporting chance that you're already aware of this, but after premiering his latest film, Red State, at the Sundance Film Festival, Kevin Smith bought the rights to distribute the film himself for $20, and spent the best part of half an hour talking to the assembled crowd about the film distribution business, and the problems within it.
As such, Smith is taking the film on the road around the States between now and October, when it gets its formal release. And the Internet seemed to go into meltdown as a result. It's fair to say that his move has proved divisive, but he's also firmly putting his money where his mouth is.
What's now appeared on YouTube, then, is the full post-Red State speech, so you can find out for yourself exactly what he said. It's quite a long video, but it's worth taking a look at.
