FAQ
What is the difference in a distributor and a producer?
A producer creates the movie. The movie is distributed through a distributor. Producors have the option to sell movies directly to distributors or theaters. Distributors buy movies directly from producers. Distributors then sell the movies to theaters, cable networks, and streaming services.
Distributors have to negotiate with theater owners over where their movies should play. This could mean that certain theaters may charge more for a particular movie than others. Distributors should be able to distribute your movie to as many theaters as possible.
How many movies does Hollywood make a year?
Each year, Hollywood studios produce approximately 3,000 films. That's right, 3000!
Hollywood spends billions on film advertising. They spend millions making them. They also spend millions marketing them. How many of these movies do you think end up in theaters?
The answer is probably around 200-300. The question is, what happens to all the other 2,700+ films? Well, most are either made as direct-to-video releases, or they just sit there gathering dust in storage vaults.
However, not all of them are unavoidable. Some have been chosen for distribution via Netflix or Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus and iTunes, Google Play and other platforms.
Hence, why aren't there more of them? Why aren’t they being shown in theaters instead? Because they're too expensive to produce.
They could also be made cheaper and put into theaters.
I can help. I can help you to find the best way to get your film into theaters.
I'll show you how to maximize your return on investment (ROI) and increase your chances of seeing your movie in theaters.
Let's face the facts...
Getting your film into theaters can be quite difficult. The process is long, complex and full of legalities.
It can also come at a high cost before you even begin.
Even worse, your window of opportunity to distribute your film is very limited.
There isn't enough time in between the time a movie is finished and when its theatrical run starts.
Why aren't more independent films distributed?
Most indie filmmakers assume that their films will get picked up by distributors.
They believe distributors will pick up their films because they know the public will love their work.
However, this is rarely the case. Distributors often benefit from independent filmmakers.
They use tactics such as delaying a film's release date until after awards season has ended.
They also delay the release date for a low-budget film until the summer blockbuster movie season has begun.
Distributors may also keep films from the public until people have already spent hundreds of money on tickets, popcorn or candy.
They don't wish to lose those profits.
