In Your Dreams Documentary

sleepless child · #1 11-05-2012, 09:09 PM

Does anyone know exactly when the documentary will be released. I know she's been making the film festival rounds, but I've not heard a release date. Will it be on the big screen or HBO perhaps? Or will it go straight to DVD? I'm personally hoping for a cable release to HBO or Showtime, like the Elton John/Leon Russell documentary.

so are they, probably. that's why they are peddling it at various festivals.

I was wondering the same thing. On Facebook there's a rumor that it's up to her management and she has left the project

I don't get it, she was so happy about it...

^^ I think that rumor came from Dave's comment on twitter in response to a fan asking if the documentary is going to get released on DVD. Dave said Stevie's management are the ones to ask now. If it's all in management's hands now, doesn't sound too promising to me.

I hope it get release.If not .she just thrown alot of money down the toilet if it got shelved.

I've been told by a credible source, that the problem is not with management or anyone else on Stevie's end -- instead, they're having trouble finding a distributor.

That's the purpose of screenings at film festivals. It's the case with all independent film not tied to a film studio or in this case, part of a record deal at a record company. You show it and hope someone picks it up for distribution either in theatre or straight to dvd release.

That makes sense. And no, that doesn't sound promising at all

Could she do it herself? I for one would love to see it. Maybe a digital release?

She should just throw it on Itunes at this point...

That would be a great idea. I'm a fan of having packaging, but heck, this would be better than nothing.

What's the difference between downloading it on a Torrent and downloading it on iTunses, though?

Either way you've got a digital copy of it. But thorugh iTunes, it'd be marketed toward a lot more people.

Torrented VIds are better quality.They will give you a compressed crappy quality like YouTube then a Full DVD quality.

Unless Icrap gives you a choice of quality.

This. I'm not sure how it all works, if they need a distributor when released digitally exclusive through Itunes & Amazon - It would seem that Itunes and/or Amazon would by default become the defacto distributors. This seems like the easiest and most modern way to get the doc out to fans. And on the business side Stevie & Dave would most probably get a bigger cut of the sales cutting out the middlemen. If only 20% of people who bought IYD plucked down for a HD digital purchase of the IYD Doc (which go for $17.99 to $19.99 on Itunes) she could potentially sell @20K copies. However, realistically the majority of Stevie's fan base may not be Itunes downloading demographic...but who knows. "They" also may have been holding out for a bigger unveiling and have shelved the Doc.

If Stevie & co. are looking for a bigger pay day by selling rights to cable channel, that would probably help secure a deal with a distributer to sell it on DVD & digitally later . That's how Stevie & FM marketed their concert films in the 80's & 90's & SYW documentary in 2004. Exclusive cable debuts followed by video/dvd releases. With "Live In Chicago" Stevie had a deal up front with PBS's Soundstage which approached her first.
