On march 5th 2011 director and writer Kevin smith started off his red state tour of the USA. it kicked off at the Radio City Music Hall in New York. Smith announced at the Sundance film festival in january that he will be self distributing the film with his new self owned SModcast Pictures, that was formed in 2011 after he made the SModcast podcast network and his own theater the SModcastle in Santa Monica Bulivard L.A.
Red State is Smith’s 10th film and his first horror movie ( except Jersey Girl). He was known as an indie film maker but he always denied it and he said ” by doing this film I will bring back indie film to what it used to be”. If he makes the money back that he is hoping to do with Red State he will open up the SModcastle doors and help other people who want to make films make them.
