The World of Movie Distribution Is a Tough Place

The world of movie
distribution is a tough place.
After fighting and sweating to
finish a movie you're mentally
and physically exhausted.

You just want to take a break
and rest, but you can't because
finishing a movie is only half
the battle. It's time to enter the
world of movie distribution.

Movie distribution is a tough
place for filmmakers new to
the grind. It's hard to switch
off the creative mind to deal
with the business side of
selling movies.

What I've learned the hard
way is the movie distribution
really starts with promoting
and marketing a movie.

It's cool to go the film festival
route to get your movie seen
by viewers and potential film
buyers, but over the years
from talking to other
filmmakers there is a common feeling that the film festival
scene is too crowded now.

U.K. filmmaker Wayne Daniells
from LiarDice Films told me his
last trip to The Cannes
International Film Festival was
a ruthless feeding frenzy.
