“I’m writing from New Zealand, where I’m happy to be observing the creation of ‘The Insatiable Moon’, a film based on Mike Riddell’s 1997 novel. It’s eye-opening to see the process that I’ve been criticising for so long – as Jett says, it’s HARD to make a movie. I can see that now 
Some thoughts thus far:
There was a time when the term ‘independent film’ was a near-guarantee of quality or at least interest – making a film like ‘sex lies and videotape’ or ‘Reservoir Dogs’ required so much superhuman effort that it was a miracle if they were even finished. Distributors, alas, needed an economic reason to invest, rather than merely their aesthetic sense, and if your small film with no stars didn’t happen to be lucky enough to attract the attention of a wealthy gatekeeper, it wasn’t likely to be released.”
