Where is this movie

There are numerous reasons why some films end up just releasing straight to disk/video. One big one is that it costs a LOT of money to put them into wide distribution (many theaters, nationwide) -in a country like the US, you're looking at many thousands of screens overall. Thats an expensive proposition that MAY pay off. If they don't think it would be widely received by the public (or if they just have bad timing and it goes up against several other movies that are big box-office draws during the same time period, it could end up costing them money (taking a loss).
While this looks like it would be a very well done movie -certainly plenty of depth and emotion- will it appeal to a wide enough audience to make it profitable? Sometimes the 'cheaper' route (straight to video) is the more profitable one -and make no bones about it. Art is fine, but if it doesn't pay the bills, then it is kind of tough to expect the artists to perform. Banks don't finance films for the fun of it -and few people can afford (and actually have the interest to do it) to just bankroll it themselves, and pray for a return.
Its harder when the film is targeting a specific audience (which this one kind of feels like it is).
I wouldn't feel upset that its only going to video. I'd be happy to just get a good transition to disk (instead of some of the crappy rush-to-disk jobs we see -which can totally ruin a movie -even a good one. )
