The Practical, Actionable, No BS, Guide to Profitable Film Distribution
SEE EVENT DETAILS
There's a pervasive myth that all you need to do to get your film distributed is get into festivals, and then the rest will work itself out. Unfortunately, this is not really the case. Lucky for you, we're bringing you a workshop sharing the basics you need to know about distribution, from a producer's rep and distributor who's overseen theatrical releases, sold films to Showtime and Starz, and gotten films on more platforms than we can count.
Here's just some of what we'll be covering.
What are the main deal points in an independent film distribution contract?
What deal points would be considered good, and what would be considered bad.
What's the difference between a Producer's Rep, Sales agent, Distributor?
What's the difference between an Executive Producer and a PMD?
What are the major independent film right types?
What are the major territories for independent films?
How long does it take to get paid?
What platforms can you sell to yourself?
What platforms do you need a Distributor for?
A formula to help you decide on Self Distribution or the traditional route.
AND MORE!
Everyone who signs up also gets a FREE Film Marketing Resource Package. This includes great discounts and templates to help with your independent film Marketing and distribution needs. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
Not in San Francisco? No problem! Due to popular demand, This event is going to be done TWICE. Once in person, and again the next day as a webinar. This registration page is for the IN PERSON version. For the Online version, CLICK HERE.
For both the online and in-person events, the ticket prices go up the more tickets that are sold. If you want the cheapest tickets, act fast!
Special Tickets are available for Patrons. To become a patron, Click here!
What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
We're working on a better solution we'll update here once more information is available. Otherwise, it's street parking. We generally Recommend Taking BART to Civic Center, exiting at 8th and Market, then walking past mission and Minna to the meeting.
How can I contact the organizer with any questions?
Email the organizer email on the side.
What's the refund policy?
No refunds, but you can transfer your ticket to someone who can make it, or receive a future event credit so long as you contact me more than 24 hours prior to the event.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
No. Just your name is fine. If it's a student ticket, then you'll need your student ID as well. (Student tickets not valid at all events.)
Is my registration fee or ticket transferrable?
Your ticket is, so long as we're alerted at least 24 hours in advance.
Will the video of this event be released online for later viewing?
Yes! I will be releasing this event for later viewing. To make sure you know when it's released, join my mailing list through the link below.
