I have only just watched this in 2023, and found it fascinating how much things have changed in the past 7 years. One of the participants comments, and I'm paraphrasing a little, "I can't see any profit in streaming or downloading movies." Now the market is dominated by Netflix, Amazon plus, Disney Plus, etc, etc etc.
Back then they were lamenting the disappearance of VHS, now it's hard to find DVDs. Most movies are available to buy on download, or on one of the afore mentioned streaming services. It is sad not being able to browse the shelves of hundreds of DVDs and sometimes finding a gem.
It is sad the effect major corporations such as Blockbuster, Walmart and later Netflix had on this market, and made it increasingly difficult for indie movies to be made at all.
