M dot Strange turned his back on Hollywood deals and leverages the power of YouTube and the internet to make his films, his way.

M dot Strange is a one-of-a-kind filmmaker who seems to be mastering the art of successful self-distribution. He got lots of offers to distribute his film We Are The Strange after it debuted to mixed reviews at Sundance last year, but he’s gone the independent route instead and explains that it offers him more freedom, exposure and financial success.

That last link above goes to a video of presentation Strange did back in February explaining his self-distribution journey. It’s filled with lots of great information and insight that puppet podcasters can put to use.
