Then Artisan spent a couple of million re-editing and cleaning it up...then they spent another $20+ million on marketing. But still that is a hell of a success story...$35k investment and it sold for $1,000,000...that's something like a $28 to $1 ROI (Return on Investment) Can't beat that :) If I remember correctly The Blair Witch Project was sold to Artisan for over a $1,000,000 at Sundance.
