Hi ,Â
Â
Sundance published this great article with interviews and advice from all kinds of distributors. There really are not enough good articles on this topic, so we love to highlight when someone produces really good work that gives filmmakers insight into the industry.Â
Â
The goal of the article was to "create a distribution resource for filmmakers that could help break down the walls between artists and gatekeepers" and here are some key things we learned:Â
- Healthy, organic social engagement from a cast can be a major marketing boon. Engagement is the key word here, not just numbers. Will they transact with/for the movie?Â
- Blind submission success is rare, but it does happen
- Theatrical release is still golden. Streaming is not the priority for every distributor.Â
- Service deals are quite popular. You own your film. They market and distribute it for a fee.Â

"Finished my deck on Friday. Got it into a few potential investor’s hands over the weekend, and by Monday had 3 out of the 10 available memberships spoken for at $160K each. The revenue projections and film comparable services by NASH, along with the business plan
and pitch deck templates were instrumental in presenting the project in such a way that financially minded potential investors could understand the movie business, the market and how my project could possibly give them a substantial ROI."
