About the episode

Matt is joined by Neon founder and CEO Tom Quinn to talk about the thesis for launching Neon, the difficulty of starting a theatrical distribution company centered around adult-oriented movies in 2017, how they are able to compete financially with other major studios’ Oscar campaigns, the business model behind a movie like Anatomy of a Fall, what they learned from Parasite, what he deems a success in independent film, and more. Matt finishes the show with a prediction about the future of the True Detective franchise.
