That's what I wanted to know too. So far it seems difficult. I dun think the subject matter is a deciding factor for the general audience, what they care are the cast and the budget, they wanna make sure the money they pay is worth it... which is quite a sad thing for indie filmmakers..

I rarely see indie films in theaters, although I have a lot of friends who go to watch a lot of indie films in theaters, I do watch a lot of indie films on DVD though. Maybe it's for the reason Kenji said, movie theater ticket prices are expensive these days and I have to pick and chose which movies I'll see at a theater even when there are two movies I really want to see I sometimes have to wait for the second to come on DVD just cuz I can't afford to keep going to the theater and spending so much money.

To Kenji, are you a indie filmmaker? If so are you working on anything at the moment? To Dark_Justice. I definitely agree. I think not only are ticket prices ridiculous but as well dvd prices can be lower. Many time we are really paying for the mass advertising.

I finished a short film not long ago, and now I am planning to make another one, currently doing some research on the technical issues... what about you?

I am making a short as we speak. It's something different from what I am kind of used to filming. What technical stuff are you researching on?

This time I am trying to a more violent film and so i need quite some props including fake blood. right now trying to find a way to mass produce usable fake blood.. :) and there'll be quite some actions, also need to find some help. the films i made before are mostly drama or experimental, this time i guess i'm trying to do something totally different.

Good for you man! Hope everything turns out spectacular... Can't wait till see more.
