The Complete Independent Movie Marketing Handbook: Promote, Distribute, and Sell Your Film or Video ANNOTATION
Audience: Independent filmmakers.
SYNOPSIS
Leaving out any questions of film production, attracting investors, and the like, independent film producer and distributor Bosko presents a "workbook-like" guide to marketing, distributing, and selling finished independent feature films, although he believes the techniques described can usefully be applied to documentaries, instructional tapes, and other small-scale, non-studio productions. Twenty-seven chapters provide information on film buyers and sellers, promoting the film concept, finding and soliciting distributors, constructing the presentation package, self-distribution, using the media, pricing, contracts, and Internet promotion.
