Film distribution is the process of making the movie available to be seen by the public. Many movies have a good distribution platform from the engaging when they are signed with major distribution companies like Universal. Many independent movies start out at a film festival. This is how big companies can find you and your work. To get the movie out it is the job of the sales agents or distributors. This is the company of the larger conglomerate that gets these rights to help promote and distribute it. Besides just publishing the film they also control the marketing of the film. The theatrical distribution of a film consists of licensing and booking theaters, marketing through advertising and commercials, releasing prints and distributing them to the theaters. Films run in theaters as long as demand and marketing strategies are still presented. After movies appear in theaters it will then be distributed to other online services and on-demand for other viewers to watch. Overall, film distribution has overall seen a change with all the new advancing streaming services.
To distribute our movie I think we will first start out showing our film at a film festival. We will find the right location and target audience to get the movie out with the right crowd. This can lead to sales agents or distributors interested. Once we get a manager or rep, they will help us finish the film and direct us to the right distributor. This will hopefully get us in theaters and other advertising offers.
