The result was Speedy keep and close of an unnecessary AFD. My reasons: Nominator 1. quotes the "unreliable" IMDB for budgets stats, 2. does not show understanding (yet) that film notability is dependent upon coverage, not upon budget. 3. incorrectly asserts a (sourcable) topic's not being sourced as a reason for deletion, when it is not, 4. repeatedly ignores WP:BEFORE (when he he actually looked he would have found multiple sources to meet WP:NF through WP:GNG), 5. seems to be unaware of WP:NRVE's instruction that topic notability is dependent upon sources being available and not upon their use or not within an article, 6. AFD is not to be used as a bludgeon to force improvements, and 7. WP:ATD tells us that deletion is not the best solution to addressable issues. In closing this, I urge the nominator to seek a mentor. Per WP:Deletion policy, I will be tagging the article for work. And to @Cavarrone: while the nominator might withdraw, blatantly unnecessary AFDs are disruptive to the project.

Fails WP:NF; IMDB notes less than $30,000 gross box. A number of awards from non-notable "festivals". No RS. Pax 05:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, let alone WP:BEFORE, have you checked the Rotten Tomatoes link (which is actually the only reference in the article)? While RT is only a review aggregator, in this case it includes/links reviews from Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles Times, Variety, L.A. Weekly, Dallas Morning News, San Francisco Chronicle and more... I think it is enough for a claim of notability, withdrawal suggested. Cavarrone 11:29, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
