What happens after your film is finished?
Distribution can take many forms, and understanding the options available can help filmmakers make smarter decisions about where their work goes, who it reaches, and what they should consider before entering into a distribution relationship.
Hosted by Pitch Perfectly, this practical workshop explores the film distribution landscape and the different paths filmmakers may encounter after completing a project. The session will examine types of distribution, what distributors may be looking for, questions filmmakers should ask before making a deal, and considerations that can affect a film's long-term opportunities.
Whether you're preparing to take a short, feature, documentary, or independent project into the marketplace, this workshop is designed to give filmmakers a clearer understanding of how distribution works and what to think about before deciding what comes next.
Topics may include:
Different types of film distribution
Traditional and independent distribution pathways
Streaming, digital, theatrical, and direct-to-audience opportunities
What to consider before approaching or working with a distributor
Understanding the goals of your film before choosing a distribution path
Questions to ask when evaluating distribution opportunities
