@brentalfloss Well, normally residuals are only paid when the overall production has made a profit in the first place. So if a film flopped, no residuals are going out. I wish there was a simpler solution, though. Maybe payout thresholds? It's often comical how small those checks can be.
@brentalfloss I feel like modern accounting must have a way to make residuals mostly automated, though, even for indie productions.
The primary problem with Obsession is that none of the crew were promised residuals, which is not unusual for below-the-line on indies, but still.
