unfortunately he was only able to do that because he funded the movie himself, so no gigantic cut of the revenue had to go to a studio, which is what happened with obsession
The situation with Obsession is depressing because, while the film is super low-budget, I keep thinking about Markiplier with Iron Lung, who gave his entire crew a bonus because the movie grossed higher than expected.
And Iron Lung grossed significantly less than Obsession.
