The world of movie distribution is a tough place. After fighting and perspiration to complete a movie you’re emotionally and physically exhausted.

You only want to take a break and break, but you can not because finishing a picture is just half the battle. It is time to go into the area of film distribution.

Picture distribution is a challenging spot for filmmakers new to the mill. It is hard to turn off the creative mind to take care of the business side of selling pictures.

What I’ve discovered the hard way is that the movie distribution really starts with promoting and marketing a movie.

Social media is an inexpensive way to get the word out about your picture and create a killer viral buzz online.

It is trendy to go the film festival path to get your film seen by audiences and potential film buyers, but over the past few years from talking to other filmmakers there is a frequent feeling that the film festival scene is too crowded today.

There were a glut of movies and producers were fighting to get the eye of movie distributors.

Overall Wayne expressed that it had been a waste of time and money pitching his film there. I’ve heard the same opinion from other filmmakers that are frustrated with the film festival scene and no longer view it as a good means to secure movie distribution.

I like the direct route of calling movie distributors to see if they are interested in being delivered a screener. This is where it helps in the event that you have already been promoting and advertising your picture online using social websites.

Movie distributors are more enthusiastic about acquiring movies that already have a solid internet presence.

I am strictly speaking from an actual independent film perspective. Studio budget pictures are an entirely different animal when it comes to the area of movie distribution.

When it comes to movie distribution to get an indie made film how it normally happens are independent producers and filmmakers take the danger making the film with no guaranteed movie distribution deal in place.

That’s been my personal experience up to now. I’ve never generated content using a movie distribution deal in place.

Promoting and marketing a picture through social media is an absolute must.

Start early before you’re movie is finished. This way when you get started calling movie suppliers you’re movie will already have more allure because folks are talking about it.

Movie distributors that concentrate on publishing independent films do very little promotion for most of the names they publish.

If you’re movie doesn’t have any celebrities or star names attached to it then it will not get marketed outside the typical insert in a movie supplier catalogue.

So as soon as you do procure a picture distribution deal you’re already giving your movie a boost by marketing and promoting yourself.

My head is all over the area now, so allow me to return to finding a movie distribution deal. A pleasant Miller Lite would help me focus at this time.

That is much better today. There are different strategies to land a film distribution deal. Deals get struck all of the time at film festivals.

But honestly there is a glut of film festivals. The amount of film festivals is far out of whack than the amount of movie distributors that release independent films.

Preventing the film festival circuit works for many independent film producers that don’t have name actors in their movie or understand their story will not appeal to an art house audience.
