30 Minute DIY Distribution Consult.

50


50 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted Oct 09, 2016

I will help you figure out how to distribute your independent film, without going the traditional route.

I'll give you an idea of indie film distribution windows, and different monetization tactics, and ways you can make a lot more than just putting your film up on itunes and google play.

I'll give you some resources for how to time the release so you can maximize your return for this film, but more than that I'll give you a roadmap so you can make your next project bigger and better with your highly engaged audience.

These days, making a sustainable career out of filmmaking requires an engaged audience and an understanding of digital marketing. This service can give you a basic understanding of how to go about getting an understanding of both, and the very beginnings of how to execute that plan.

Training & Qualifications


I am a film distribution expert who wrote two books on the subject, the first, The Guerrilla Rep: American Film Market Distribution Success on No Budget, focuses on traditional distribution. The second, The Entrepreneurial Producer focuses on building your filmmaking career. There's also a bunch of stuff you can look at on my linkedin.

Availability & Preferences


I'm generally free monday to Friday,9-5 Pacific time

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!
