 Great info for new and veteran indie filmmakers
As a filmmaker who has distributed 4 films, I found this to be a wonderful resource. Up to date with the latest distribution trends and a good reminder about the foundational elements of indie film distribution. Highly recommended.
Stacey Parks is the distribution guru...!
I am a major fan of Stacey Parks book and web site: [...]. I find that Stacey is cutting edge when it comes to the subject of worldwide distribution. She is a never-ending fountain of information and wise advice addressing all distribution-related matters. What also distinguishes Stacey/Film Specific and her fabulous book is how professional she is and how well-organized the material is. This is definitely a primer for anyone looking to navigate the murky waters of domestic and foreign pre-sales and distribution.
Essential Reading
For those of you who are independent filmmakers, regardless of whether or not you are just about to begin production, or are in the process of trying to secure distribution for a finished product, the contents in this book will prove to be invaluable.
I wish that I had access to this book prior to beginning principle photography, as it would have made a world of difference. I encourage every independent filmmaker, who has to wade through vast amounts of garbage information on a daily basis, to read this book to get the real facts, rather than forum and heresay.
Reality Check
Stacey Parks has written a very insightful book. It has great information throughout and includes practical explanations about presales and acquiring distribution based on the script (this is often overlooked by other books and seminars that assume the reader already has a finished film). Helpful too was the information about attaching actors and interfacing with agents and managers. I plan to buy this book as Christmas gifts for aspiring filmmakers I know and some of the seasoned ones too! Armed with the knowledge she dispenses in her book, I feel validated in pursuing other options for financing without feeling like I'm skipping some "obvious" step.
A must read if you're producing or self-distributing a film
I learned about this book from distribution executive, Allen Chou's film distribution workshop. It's a must read because it covers everything you need to know before you secure distribution for your film. Stacey used to work in the distribution biz, so she details all the "secrets" you need to know. Before you get ripped off signing a deal with a sales agent or home video distributor, READ THIS BOOK! Most indie films lose money- don't let your film become another fatality. If you're interested in learning more about film marketing & distribution, I also recommend www.MarketMyMovie.com
