Seminar
Independent Film Distribution:
A Primer for Low-Budget Filmmakers
Using real word examples this workshop explores the distribution process from the perspective of the Independent or Low-Budget filmmaker with an emphasis on the common errors and assumptions which are often made that can prevent a film from maximizing its back end potential. For many filmmakers, the ability to find distribution for their film begins with decisions that are made before the first scene is even shot. This seminar is designed to help filmmakers focus in on the answers to the two most important questions they must ask themselves, why am I making this film and what am I going to do with it when it’s done
TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE:
Defining the Goals for your Film
Understanding the Market for your Film
The Importance of Casting
Working with a Producer's Rep
The Standard Distribution Contract
Where does the Money go?
Who the Players are and how to Contact them

Distribution Consulting
If you have a completed film with a marketable premise and recognizable cast and are looking for Distribution please feel free to send me a link to your film's trailer or website for review.
As a Producer's Rep I have helped place films with HBO, Showtime, Lifetime, and TCM. I have also placed films with a number of Foreign Sales Agents and DVD Distributors.
Screenwriting
Screenwriting
Although my primary focus is on writing and developing my own scripts I am available for hire to work on original ideas, adaptations, or rewrites for select projects.
If you have a project currently in development please send me an Email with a brief description, timetable, and budget. If it is something I think I can help you with I will contact you to schedule a call for further discussion.
