You've taken the
Sisyphean journey and made a movie. Congratulations! Now what? What do you do to ensure the final stage of this major endeavor, distribution? What is the "correct" strategy to take? Is there even one??
The answer is a resounding
YES. Whether you've just finished final cut or are on the film festival circuit -- or EVEN if you've been turned down by distributors already -- there are strategies for successfully getting Film Distribution that MOST Producers & Directors do not know. Consequently, most give up after spending a year or two spinning their wheels, with only the inner satisfaction of having made the movie.
The ProblemThere are an estimated 4,000 - 5,000 independent films made every single year. Here's the unfortunate truth: Less than 5% of all these movies end up with distribution.
Why? What's the
real problem here?
Are all the other 95% of these films bad and unwatchable?
OF COURSE NOT. How many movies have you seen, either from your filmmaker friends or at a film festival, that you thought were decent/good/excellent and worthy of a larger audience?
Maybe you need stars in your movie to actually get distribution? Is this the real problem?
NO. Lots of movies get distribution without star names, we see it all the time.
Well, perhaps you need to hire some "Producer's Rep" and pay them a $10,000 fee to "unlock" the world of distribution. Is this the answer?
NO. If you have extra money to blow, you might, but they don't give guarantees that they'll be successful for you --
and frequently they are not. (
All one has to do is read various film discussion boards on the net about Producer Reps to learn the truth.) So you pay them $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 and end up a year later with nothing to show for it. Or a really bad distribution deal.
What's the answer then? Do you need to struggle and suffer trying to figure out what the heck to do?
NO. Do you have to end your incredible journey -- one filled with blood, sweat and possibly tears -- does it have to end with your movie collecting dust on a shelf in your home?
NO.The SolutionThe solution is that there are concrete, specific and proven strategies to achieve distribution for your film -- key strategies that literally unlock the world of distribution for you.
Unfortunately most Producers and Directors simply don't have a clue as to what they are. Or they don't realize they're even lacking the right information to be successful. Most simply throw their movie out into the marketplace in a scattershot fashion, and then don't understand why they don't get a deal. Or they don't understand why people aren't buying their DVDs, ordering it on VOD, or viewing it online.

You can't put a price on the information he teaches -- but avoiding the pitfalls of distribution could save you north of $50,000!""Since the class I attended, I've sold 2 films to Lionsgate and I have a 3rd that I'm shooting for them.

"Unraveled," "Experiment In Torture"
Volume 3 "When I took Jerome's course, I had been on the festival circuit for 6 months and thought I'd done everything possible to sell my film. I was wrong. This course was such a great breath of fresh air -- and showed me how much I didn't know about the distribution game! Informative and well worth every penny, I got a distribution deal 2 months later with a cash advance.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about selling their movie. The knowledge that Jerome doles out is invaluable. As a filmmaker, it is a gift you need to give yourself."-- Lanre Olabisi, Producer/Director,

"Without Jerome's information and resources, I'd never have gotten distribution through Warner Bros. for my 'no name' feature. Not in a million years."
