NO PUBLICITY?
In the name of God, Sex and Violence... You got it, be controversial, shocking and provocative ... always look at the darker sides of ... religion (Life of Brian (1979))... sex (Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989)) and violence (any Abel Ferrara's film) these easy targets are also perfectly compatible: take violence and religion for instance (The Passion of the Christ (2004)) or sex (Irreversible (2002)), anti-conformist fans will watch your film to defend it, haters to criticize it, and in-betweeners will be curious enough to know where they stand for, each one will be buzzing around on Twitter/Facebook/Youtube/Instagram and other social-networks giving you all the publicity you'll need. And think of a cool and shocking poster while you're at it.
