Red State is a 2011 American independent horror film written and directed by Kevin Smith, with characters inspired by types of fundamentalist religious organizations. The film stars Michael Parks, John Goodman, Academy Award winner Melissa Leo and Stephen Root. Also co-stars Ralph Garman, Kevin Pollak, Kerry Bishé, Haley Ramm, Kevin Alejandro, Anna Gunn, Michael Angarano, and Nicholas Braun.
For months, Smith promised that the rights to the film would be auctioned off to a distributor at a controversial event to be held after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, but instead Smith purchased the film himself which, according to analysts, "might have been a difficult sale for any distributor." Smith originally planned to self-distribute the picture under the "Smodcast Pictures" banner with a traveling show in select cities, before officially releasing the movie on October 19, 2011. Kevin Smith listed Mel Gibson as his inspiration for how he planned to distribute this movie, citing Gibson's The Passion of the Christ as an example of a successfully self-distributed movie.
On June 28, 2011, Smith announced a one-week run in Quentin Tarantino's New Beverly Cinema (making the film and its actors eligible for Academy Award consideration), the film was released via Video on Demand on September 1, 2011 through Lionsgate, and will be released theatrically on September 25, 2011 (via Smodcast Pictures), and home video on October 18, 2011.
