How to Make an Easy Million on the Indie Circuit

Take a true news story: 

Cuban Punk Rocker Jailed for Lyrics.


Fashion it into a heartwarming tale of redemption:  

Punk Rocker jailed for his rocking, teaches a jail (then a country) to "punk rock".


Make it for Americans: 

In doing so, he and a nation destroy Communism with punk rock.


Add a non-offensive, but miscast young actor: 


Paul Dano.




That's 100 million DVDs sold on a single Tuesday afternoon. 

You can have that one, Fox Searchlight.
