Film distribution is entering a new age. So much has changed. Film distributors are no longer paying advances and more and more Art House theatres are closing every day. Inexpensive cameras and post-production software have resulted in a glut of indie films. And non-theatrical outlets like Netflix, Amazon, iTunes, Hulu and Cable VOD have now become the main source of income. This is a book which will address these changes for the burgeoning filmmaker.

Topics include:
� The Ten Vital Rules of Film Distribution
� The Major Mistakes Filmmakers Often Make
� Getting a Distributor: The Pluses and Minuses
� Self-Distribution
� Streaming and Selling DVDs
� The Digital Platforms
� Qualifying for an Oscar
� Financing Your Film
� Foreign Sales and more.
