"..but if Brokeback Mountain is any guide, his film won't enjoy a wide release."

Surfing's equivalent of Brokeback Mountain is being filmed on Sydney's northern beaches. Directed by Ed Aldridge, a Brit, it's called Tan Lines, about two gay surfers in a small town somewhere on the NSW coast, and managed a few media mentions here when announced last year.
Director Aldridge didn't get back to us by deadline, but if Brokeback Mountain is any guide, his film won't enjoy a wide release. Despite the cowboy flick winning four Golden Globes, its distributor, Roadshow, has brought only 48 copies of the film into Australia. Compare that with the national number of screens on which these films are now showing: Chronicles of Narnia (412), King Kong (288), Rumour Has It (238), and Mrs Henderson Presents (75).
