DEVELOPMENT

Every film has a development period in which the producer or filmmaker grooms their project to the best of their ability.

The success of a film can be MADE or BROKEN in this process.

Groom your project for success in production AND distribution, by avoiding pitfalls in square one of the process.

This course focuses IN DEPTH on topics such as:

script development and polish
budgeting, scheduling & casting

fundraising

DISTRIBUTION

Once you have completed your film, then what? Even if your film is selected into a prestigious festival that does not guarantee a lucrative distribution deal.

Distribution, like finance, is very tricky. There is a difference between getting distribution, and getting the right distribution.

This course focuses IN DEPTH on topics such as:

how best to seek out, vet and secure both domestic and international distribution in order to monetize your film and show your investor(s) returns
what is needed to successfully deliver your film (it can be different depending on the distributor)
how to manage the relationships with your distributors
