In this virtual town hall meeting, moderated by Film Specific founder Stacey Parks we discuss the concept of distribution overwhelm. Indie filmmakers are now faced with an unprecedented development when it comes to distributing their films: a glut of opportunities. And many are feeling overwhelmed with all the options.

From self and hybrid distribution to opportunities make use of the best parts of traditional distribution while leaving out the worst , filmmakers have more control and more ways then ever to exploit their films in the marketplace. But how do you decipher the best strategy for YOUR film?

Our Virtual Town Hall Meetings are an open forum for discussion to ask questions, share your thoughts and experiences, learn from the experiences of others, and network with other filmmakers.
