Bloody hell, signing away half the profits? What a load of rubbish. These filmmakers these days have got no sense.

Honestly, as someone in the industry, this is a bold move. Half the rights for distribution guarantees? Could pay off big time.

stuffed. She's a fool and so are you for defending it.

Good on her for doing something different. The world needs more fearless women in film.

Wait, she gave away half the profits? Someone explain how this is a good idea??

Absolute madness. Might as well just burn the money. 😡

Bold but I see the strategy. If it flops she's not fully exposed. If it hits, everyone wins.

nah, but half though? Seems like a lot.
