Following up on my [earlier post](http://johnaugust.com/archives/2008/indie-film-contd) about alternative distributions for indies, Splinter has its debut on HDNet Movies [tonight](http://www.hd.net/movies_schedule_by_title.html#M1627), in anticipation of its theatrical roll-out this weekend. (And in competition with a certain presidential candidate’s national address.)
I haven’t seen the movie, but it got a nice [review today in Variety](http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117938819.html?categoryid=31&cs=1), and awards at [Screamfest](http://www.screamfestla.com/winners2008.html).
