  • Just finished my first edit on the script. I thought the edits I made in the margins would only take a short time to type... Wrong. Four and a half hours later. I'm ready to pass the script off to another set of eyes.

Distribution ideas.

Published in Untagged  by Lance Fischer Print PDF
I looked at numerous distribution methods for the movie today. Having never produced a movie before, I hoped my research online led me in the right direction. I found a site called Indieflix.com that helps with DVD and digital distribution through various channels. One requirement is that your film has to be played as an “Official Selection” at a film festival before they will work with you.  We tried to enter several film festivals under their “web series” categories this past summer and got shot down each time. The whole process left a bad taste in my mouth, but if that is what it takes to even be considered for distribution I don’t have much choice. We do have one other option that I consider my last choice; self-distribution. I don’t think that this is a viable alternative for us because it will limit the number of possible investors and ultimately lessen the quality of the movie. If I can’t tell an investor how we will make them money, they won’t invest.  I also looked at Amazon.com and their digital downloads and DVD duplication system, but I don’t want to have to walk door to door and try to sell WeEvil unless I have to and I’m not sure about their reach in the digital download market. One other thing, I looked at the possibility of getting it on Netflix, but the only thing I’ve found is that to get on Netflix you have to go through a distributor like Indieflix.com/ a large mega distributor or winning a contest on IFC. Hopefully as this project progresses I will find the exact method we will be using. Until then I just have to keep moving along and hope that we choose the best method that will ultimately work out in our favor. I’ll keep you posted on our progress.
