It's easy to forget that with the somewhat recent advances of technology a single person, or small team, can make and distribute a "real" film. 16mm and hi-def video made it possible to produce such movies, since about the 90s, but people still needed a distributor. Nowadays you can self-distribute over various content networks, like iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Video, etc. If you retain all the rights, this should be a potential Fastlane venue.
Described briefly here:
I remember when Spalding Gray's "Swimming To Cambodia" monologue was filmed in 1987, grossed over $1M, and got him future movie deals.
If self-distribution had been possible then, he might have been able to create a FL business with his monologues. I'm surprised some of those Youtubers that talk for many hours, don't edit their best stuff (if there is any), and distribute it.
