Getting into the movie business is one thing....but actually making movies for profits and making a real career at it is entirely different...
When I started out as a foreign sales agent many years ago, I quickly learned how to single out the distributors who really and truly bought independent films, not just went around to the markets talking about it. (A BIG difference I later found out!) And I spent years cultivating relationships with those distributors.
Once I nailed down a concrete list of distributors who regularly buy films, I put that together with a detailed explanation of the highly complex world of independent film distribution and presented it to my clients as a tool to kick-start distribution for their films. Soon enough, I began to see changes taking place in the way my clients' films were received. You see, once they had all the information they could actually start making sense of the Distribution game and it became much easier for them to navigate through the often confusing and misunderstood maze. But most of all, I saw how my clients' financial stress lifted as they started to actually make money doing what they love (making films). Suddenly, finding distribution for their films wasn't such a seemingly insurmountable struggle anymore!
Stacey Parks's Film Distribution Kit provides timely, insightful and sobering advice and information which has allowed me to make informed decisions regarding the distribution strategy for my upcoming film projects.
The information contained in the Film Distribution Kit has saved me both time and money and has allowed me to avoid some very costly mistakes.
The bonuses alone are more than worth the price of admission.

It was then I decided to put pen to paper and really create the one-stop-shop system using my proven formula for independent filmmakers.
What I created is a clear and precise roadmap to success in finding distribution outlets for your film .
And that's what I'm offering with the 2009 newly expanded and updated Film Distribution Kit, the complete guide for understanding independent film distribution and toolkit for achieving distribution and maximizing distribution opportunities for your independent films, which combines my original Insider's Guide to Film Distribution ebook, and the 2009 Distributors Hotlist into one clear, concise and COMPREHENSIVE package.
The Film Distribution Kit is a comprehensive system that includes:
A full overview of traditional and alternative distribution models
Over 150 hand-picked theatrical, DVD, and broadcast distributors in 39 countries for you to submit your films to, with full details (including direct e-mail addresses)
Realistic and current worldwide revenue estimates for independent films
A specially-curated list of sales agents, specializing in independent film
Breakdown of a distribution agreement
The proper way to go about actually submitting your films to distributors and sales agents
How to leverage the Film Markets to work directly with distributors
How to present to potential buyers and investors at Film Markets
The kind of distribution deals you can expect from both U.S and foreign distributors
Actual case studies and interviews from filmmakers and executives, both in the US and UK, focused on their successes and the challenges they've faced with various distribution platforms
Keep in mind, this info is only a teaser of what you'll find in my Film Distribution Kit system.
After completing my first film I was at a lost as to how and where to go with the finish product.
After months of researching buying expensive books and attending numerous seminars I stumbled upon Film Specific and all my prayers where answered.
They say genius is in making the complex simple and that's exactly what Stacey Parks does with her website and Film Distribution Kit package.
After reading and following her books suggestions I was not only able to get my film on the right track but I also was able to sign 3 other films to represent them at the American Film Market and I've been in constant contact with numerous distributors and sales agents.
Now I know that I'm 99% ahead of the game comparable to the thousands of filmmakers out there because before I even put pen to paper I have the distribution side in focus.

It also features interviews, case studies, and specific contact details for distributors and decision makers which is PRICELESS info! (Especially since I've spent years traveling the world and thousands of dollars cultivating these valuable relationships...)
