Film Distribution Deal Killers
You have to stand out... which can be a challenge, because there are thousands of movies seeking distribution every year.
And we, as filmmakers spend so much time, energy and money making our film...
We can't afford to ruin our shot at getting a good deal.
Some filmmakers have an idea they're passionate about... they think, "If I just make a great film, then everyone will want to buy it."
Some filmmakers think about distribution but it's a total mystery and they just hope they can get any deal.
Both strategies can get results, but I find that they don't always set the film up to get a good distribution deal.
These days, making a great film does not guarantee distribution, and without knowing exactly what you need to close the deal, could ruin your chances entirely.
