Distribution News
One of the challenges we face conveying the idea to filmmakers that the status quo system of distribution is disintegrating and re-ordering on an almost daily basis: what you thought you knew about distribution does not apply any longer.
In the midst of this chaos is the opportunity for independents to take the reins of their own distribution. This interview with noted indie producer Ted Hope says it about as succinctly and forcefully as we've seen. I particularly love the line about "parasitic gatekeepers." maker profile to help promote your Film.
Editorial: The Filmmakers Channel Position in the Distribution Vortex
by Dan Latrimurti
You are receiving this newsletter for any number of reasons, but on some level you too recoginize that the system of films distribuiton is going through a rapid and intense evolution. We believe that it is more of along the lines of a gestation moving towards revolution then evolution because the tools that are becoming available and are offered here shifts power from the big "mega flix" distrbuitors to the filmmakers and on line distributors that can get your film in front of targeted eyeballs.
Our philosophy is simple. We believe that when it comes to getting your film(s) distributed and sold that there isn't anyone in the world that has your best interest in mind more then you.
As much as we would love to guarantee all filmmakers on line distribution success through our initiatives, the reality is that we cannot. Even with a "mega portal" website some films will languish and receive little attention. Why? Not because their film isn't worthy, it is because a 'mega portal' distribution strategy obsolete and not capable of getting your film in front of the most interested audience. A mega portal can't do it, but with the right technology and information you can.
Our job is to provide any filmmaker that wants to take responsiblity for their distribution success with the technology that will allow them to apply their media across the internet so that the people who care about it get a chance to see it. This is what we mean by Audience Direct Distribution of Independent Films and Alternative Media that Pays Filmmakers First.

Why is AWeber ideal for filmmakers
Filmmakers can use AWeber in building a fan base, for the release of their next film or T-shirts, and here’s how.
First I’ll tale you what AWeber is. Short and sweet, it’s an auto responder/membership sign up box. Call it what you want, but if your not using one of these, “then I’m sorry” and this is why.
The short and sweet, if your making future films, and you haven’t built a list of fans, that you can send a newsletter telling them about, your new film project or in the can film “again I’m sorry” but I always say it’s never to late.
So how does AWeber work, and why is it ideal for a filmmaker that want to self distribute.
First, this is the Internet, and marketing a film on the Internet is the same as any other product. You want to build a list of costumers/fans so you can tell them about your new products/films, are send them a news letter telling them about a product/film that’s not even out yet, build their interest and suspense. Are you seeing the need for this great tool “it gets better” With AWeber you get unlimited auto responders, what does that means for a filmmaker, that has different types of films. Like documentaries, horror, and westerns, well you can have a separate auto responder for all different categories. Witch gives you the ability to keep track of your different client/fan groups, and if you just want to send a news letter to your horror fans, you can “is that cool are what!”
Tips on getting people/fans to sign in.
Offer a newsletter give away something like a trailer that only your signed up fans get to have. There are many things you can offer.
So don’t waste anymore time or website leakage, and get your auto responder today. Click here are on the banner, and test drive Aweber for free for a mouth.
