Mark Duplass is mounting a one-man campaign to bring awareness to Ray Romano's performance in the Netflix drama 'Paddleton.'
By most measures, that’s a huge success for an independent film that cost less than $1 million to make. And Duplass gets that. But there’s also part of him that feels like the streaming outlet could have promoted “Paddleton” more, ultimately leading Romano to be up for awards consideration this season.
The Duplass brothers, who came up in the Austin, Texas, filmmaking community, are often recognized for helping to launch the ‘Mumblecore’ movement — making quiet, low-budget movies about intimate relationships with a lot of improvised dialogue. Their first hit, “The Puffy Chair,” was actually bought by current Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos in 2005, when the production and distribution arm of the company was called Red Envelope.
After about an hour in front of the Dolby, where he’d managed to engage a few people in conversation and taken some selfies, Duplass decided to walk down to a shop that had life-size fake gold Oscar statues in front of it.
