THE SECRETS TO DISTRIBUTION: Get Your Movie Distributed Now!

So you've made your movie. Congratulations! Or you're going to make your movie.
Excellent! What do you do to ensure the final step of your filmmaking journey,
getting distribution? How do you play "the game"? Is there even a game??

The answer is YES. There is a game. A strategy. Whether you're about to start
shooting, have finished your final cut, are on the film festival circuit -- or
even if you've been turned down by distributors already -- you CAN get
distribution. It is not impossible, but there is a strategy that MOST producers
& directors do not know or understand.

Where can you learn this? At producer Jerome Courshon's groundbreaking 2-Day
seminar,
"THE SECRETS TO DISTRIBUTION: Get Your Movie Distributed Now!"
http://www.Distribution.LA

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS SEMINAR:
• Those with a completed movie
• Those in production or post-production
• Those who intend to make a movie -- Get a head start on what you need to
know
• Learn what they do NOT teach you in film school

Bottom line? This seminar is about getting results and getting the deal, with
key resources provided. This is about securing a viable distributor, whether you
have a low budget movie OR a movie with names. If you are serious about getting
your movie into the marketplace, then you should NOT miss this day.

We will also cover the newer distribution avenues, from digital downloading to
marketing your movie online. Whichever route would be best for you, don't spend
years spinning your wheels, only to end with your movie collecting dust on your
living room shelf.

"Without Jerome's information and help, I'd never have gotten a studio
distribution deal for my no 'name' feature. Not in a million years."
-- Vince Rocca, Producer, "Kisses & Caroms" (Released by Warner Bros.)

"When I went to Jerome's seminar, 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 seminar 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."
-- Lanre Olabisi, Producer/Director, "August the First"

"I've been a working actor for over 25 years and have relationships with many
mainstream Distributors. When it was time to distribute my first feature film, I
thought I knew it all. Jerome not only opened my eyes but opened doors, with my
movie getting picked up for a nationwide release on DVD. Is Jerome's seminar
worth it? You can't even put a price tag on the knowledge and connections that
you'll get from his seminar."
-- Jeff Rector, Writer/Director/Producer, "Revamped"

AT THE SEMINAR YOU WILL LEARN:
• The Theatrical Distribution game: What to do and what not to do with
theatrical distributors
(Most filmmakers fail here, even when they have a killer movie)
• The 8 Basic Movie Distribution Models and how to navigate them
• Who all the Home Video Distributors are
(Do you know there are over 100 of them? Contact list provided at seminar)
• Press Kits, PR & Marketing
• Is your artwork & press kit REALLY up to snuff, or are you sending out
inferior materials with your movie causing distributors to say 'No' before even
watching it? (Happens all the time)
• Are Film Festivals worth your time & energy?
(Depends upon your movie)
• How to effectively use Film Festivals and Key Strategies to generate Buzz,
Press & Awards
(It's not just showing up like a rock star and watching your movie)
• Is the VSDA -- now known as the EMA -- important to attend?
(Do you know what the EMA is? Your success may depend on this)
• E & O Insurance: How to get it for thousands of dollars LESS than the going
rate (You will need it for U.S. distributors)
• Digital Distribution
• Internet Distribution
• DIY Distribution ("DIY" means "Do It Yourself")
• DIY Theatrical Distribution
• Plus Q & A
