LAT puff piece on Sound of Freedom director: he was compelled to give away all his points just to get it funded. such nobility for the craft
So you’re really not making money off the film? Can you talk more about that?
"As a director, you always get your share of what’s called points. But early on, they needed to raise more money because the film was independent and they didn’t have funds. At that time, I thought the movie was not going to see the light of day so I gave my points away, as did many other people in the film. It took me a while to come to terms with it. But it’s exciting now when you see this massive box office. There’s also something romantic about it. You know, the beauty of the struggling artist is still there [laughs]."
