As a feature filmmaker, one of your biggest problems is finding a traditional distribution deal (that makes sense) for your movie.
With each passing day, we get closer and closer to a world where DVD sales channels are being replaced by video on demand.
And while we are not there yet, after spending the more significant part of last weekend watching streaming content on NetFlix and Hulu, Inow believen that the days of DVD distribution are numbered.
As a result of this evolution, filmmakers need to quit relying on outside 3rd parties to source an audience and distribute independent movies.
From now on, you need to start thinking about your movie business like any other small business. YOU will create a product, YOU will distribute your product, YOU will market your product, and YOU will sell your product.
While this seems easy for some modern moviemakers, what I suggest represents a paradigm shift for others.
Not everyone reading this will agree with me.
