Vertical

And we know Bleeker Street Entertainment is not inflammatory.

We know when we see Vertical Entertainment.

We know.

We know what's up.

And then when we were about to go shoot the film, it fell apart.

And luckily for us, Vertical Entertainment came in, gave us the money to shoot the film.

And so long as no one came out and snatched it from, well, they wouldn't snatch it from underneath them, but made a deal that was sweet enough to take it away from them, they also became our distributor.

And it's hard to say how well that worked out for us because we got to make a truly independent film.

Hey, everyone.

Thank you so much for listening to my interview with the director for The Wait, Pat McKinley, here on the Next Best Picture podcast.

The Wait is now currently playing in theaters from Vertical Entertainment.

You have been listening to The Next Best Picture Podcast.

It's going to be opening nationwide in theaters on September 18th.

It's being brought to you by Vertical Entertainment.

and you can check their website or wherever you normally find Showtimes.

But it's going to be out there, and again, it's worth seeing.

it needs to be seen on the big screen.

And the fact that Vertical Entertainment's the... ultimately who picked it up, 'cause when you guys saw it, it didn't have a distributor.

Correct.

Um, and then I remember talking to Eric, and Eric said, "Ah, shit, Vertical picked it up." And [laughs]

[laughs]

And so that means it's not gonna get a proper release, and they're, they're gonna screw it up in some way, and they did.

Uh, really big emotions.

It's a tremendous movie, I think one of the best of the year.
