72 Awesome Resources for Distributing Your Film (For Indie Filmmakers)

When it comes to distributing your film, you’ll quickly find a bunch of fuddy-duddies telling you that you need to win a major festival like Sundance to be successful. The problem with this is obvious. Very few filmmakers actually get accepted into major festivals. Heck, very few filmmakers actually get a good distribution deal. So what then?

I have been working professionally in film distribution for the past decade. And one thing I’ve learned is this: When distributing your film, it’s your hustle over hope that makes for the best strategy. Sure, every once in awhile a film becomes a breakout hit. But if you really want to succeed in distributing your film, you need to create a strategy from day one.

72 Awesome Resources for Distributing Your Film

The good news is, changes in film distribution technology now provides access to major online marketplaces such as Amazon, FandangoNow, iTunes and more.  So if you are looking to distribute and sell your movie, there has never been a better time. To further help, I compiled this list of our most popular film distribution articles.
