	Newmarket gets savvy with Oscar campaigns - Feb. 23, 2004
		Berney credited this accomplishment to the film's creators and to the two actresses, but many in the industry said Berney's passion and intuitive taste is what has set the two low-budget indies apart.
		For example, "Whale Rider," a film about a New Zealand girl who struggles to be the leader of her Maori tribe, was initially perceived as being a film that, due to its subject matter, would primarily appeal to an art house crowd.
		Newmarket initially opened "Whale Rider" in a few art house theaters in New York and Los Angeles, but gradually shifted its focus to market the film to a broader audience.

		The Sundance Film Festival neared its finale on Saturday with eyes focused on the evening awards ceremony that provides a climax to what has been seen as a solid year for the independent filmmakers here.
		Film executives said the difference may have stemmed from many of the films' dark subjects -- incest, pedophilia and necrophilia, among them -- that did not lend themselves to over-the-top promotion or showmanship.
		First-time moviemakers and students use short films as a calling card to display their talents, and even established stars make shorts to broaden their careers.

	Independent film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Often, films that receive less than 50% of their budget from major studio are also considered "independent." According to MPAA data, January through March 2005 showed approximately 15% of US domestic box office revenue was from independent studios.
		Until the advent of digital alternatives, the cost of professional film equipment and stock was a major obstacle to being able to produce, direct, or star in a traditional studio-quality film.
		Full-length films are often showcased at film festivals such as Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival, the Slamdance Film Festival, the South By Southwest film festival, the UK's Raindance Film Festival, or the Cannes Film Festival.

		Newmarket Films set itself an unusual challenge when it decided to release the controversial faux investigative documentary "Death of a President" just six weeks after acquiring the film.
		But it might face an even more formidable obstacle because several major film chains are refusing to play the film, which mixes real news footage with dramatized segments depicting the fictional 2007 death of President Bush.
		Newmarket, the 12-year-old Los Angeles-based film financing, production and distribution company, acquired the U.S. rights for $1 million at last month's Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the Fipresci International Critics' Award.

		It is without precedent, then, that Newmarket Films chose to finance a new cut of and distribute "Donnie Darko" so shortly after its initial release.
		Newmarket released "Donnie Darko" through a service deal with IFC Films while Bob Berney, now company president of Newmarket Films, was IFC's head of distribution.
		The Pioneer Theater in Manhattan's East Village, where the film played for a consecutive 28 months (it was pulled only recently by Newmarket for the release on the director's cut), is the most well-known venue to have supported "Donnie Darko" in its cult revival.

		Most films about Jesus set the last hours of his life in the context of his ministry of preaching, healing and relating to his disciples.
		This is not a film for the sensitive—and definitely not for children.
		Those who plan to use the film for evangelism are going to have to provide for many people the context or "back story." Someone not familiar with the Gospels is bound to wonder why the priests hated Jesus so much.

	Major chains refuse to play Bush death film

		Newmarket distribution consultant Richard Abramowitz insisted he was having no trouble booking the film, which initially will open in several hundred locations.
		Although a consortium of distributors led by Miramax Films' Harvey Weinstein pushed the politically polarized "Fahrenheit 9/11" into theaters very quickly in summer 2004, and Paramount Vantage took only four months to open Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth," it is rare that a film goes from acquisition to release so quickly.

		The distribution arm of the Newmarket Entertainment Group, the company was formed in August 2002 by financiers William Tyrer and Chris Ball as well as indie vet Bob Berney.
		Newmarket had never fielded more than 1,100 prints at one time -- as part of its release of 2003's Oscar-winning "Monster" -- and so it found itself doing business in smaller towns and markets it had never reached before.
		A drama about a female serial killer, that film was also considered a tough sell, but it earned its star Charlize Theron the best actress Oscar and went on to gross $34 million domestically.

		Not much is revealed about the central character and, at the end of the film, with all the sympathy that Kessel elicits for him, he still remains an enigma.
		In the film's second half, some color is added by Walter's feisty co-worker Vicki (Kyra Sedwick, Bacon's real-life wife), who first looks out for him, then develops an attraction that culminates in an anxiety-ridden affair.
		A superior film to both "The Mark" and "The Woodsman" is Ulu Grosbard's "Straight Time" (1978), in which Dustin Hoffman, spivey and mustached to project seediness, plays Max Dembo, an ex-con on parole.

		He had worked with Newmarket once before, having persuaded its principals to let him release the quirky 2000 film "Memento," which he steered to a $25 million domestic boxoffice and an Oscar screenwriting nomination.
		But it was after he brought his talents to Newmarket full-time last year -- shortly after the 10-year-old financing company opened a distribution division -- that Berney's name began to really pop.
