Your question is whether projection is worth while to an Indie.
Mine is, if an independent film maker chooses to attempt projected distribution, what hurdles will they have to jump through to get their material compliant with whatever systems the major distributors will eventually support in the theaters.(maybe propietary?) -- and 10 yrs down the line, will their media still be projectable?
The sad fact is that any 35mm print will play on any 35mm projector. (In my city you can rent a projection room for under $100/hr) And a print is relatively hardy. (yeah, the down side are the scratches, but what happens when your disk gets scratched?)
