He has consistently made movies for small ($250,000 for Looking for Kitty) to minuscule ($9,000 yes, you read that right for Newlyweds) budgets, and was experimenting with new distribution models even before the rise of streaming. In 2007, he made the first straight-to-iTunes movie, Purple Violets, and in 2010, he inaugurated Comcasts straight-to-VOD Indie Film Club with Nice Guy Johnny.
