Description
Innovation in technology means that almost anyone can make an independent film these days. Although this may be good news for aspiring
filmmakers, it also means that the oversupply of independent films on the market has caused acquisition prices to dramatically decrease.
As a result, producers and investors rarely recover their initial investment in the films they make. But don't be discouraged! Use this
book to learn the realities of the market in advance and map out a winning distribution plan.
This comprehensive manual for filmmakers
and producers dedicated to film distribution and the marketplace could mean the difference between getting your film out to the public
and keeping it "in the can." Learn how to sell your movie to a studio, a cable network, a video distributor, or an international buyer.
Self-distribution and other alternatives to traditional distribution are also considered. As well, you'll hear some success stories from
producers and hear exactly what buyers are seeking.
Stacey Parks has worked with dozens of hungry filmmakers to get their
films a distribution deal and knows how frustrating the whole process can be. Let her tell you how you can take control of your filmmaking
career and start getting your work seen by audiences with a few little-known distribution secrets.
