But one of the rules I don't like to break is we still do - 95% of our movies are low budget. We're offered bigger, larger budget movies to produce a lot, and we don't do them. That's not to say there aren't exceptions, there are a few exceptions, but I try and stick by the rules that produce what I think is the highest quality, most innovative work and try and let the rules go that make us feel like we're retreading.
Jason BlumI really like to work with theater actors. Theater actors tend to do lots of independent movies, and those are the actors that I like.
Jason BlumOne thing I am very strict about is that I don't like spending a lot of money on movies because the more money you spend I think the worse that they get.
Jason BlumCurrently there's no other way to get a movie into 3,000 theaters except with a studio. We have a first-look deal with Universal, and it's been fun to work with them. But studios are a part of our life. I think they'll always be, but they'll play a different role. The consumer and the creator are getting closer together.
