So there are tons of options for distributing your film. But how do you make sense of them all? It's a huge issue facing filmmakers.

What's the deal with domestic vs. international? Should you split your rights or not? Where do you carve out rights for yourself and when can you do this? Where do festivals fit into the mix? Is DVD, TV, VOD first second or third? Does premiering on one platform 'ruin' deal possibilities for the other platforms?

In this virtual seminar with Film Specific founder Stacey Parks (now available via on-demand download) we discuss these issues to help filmmakers get on track about how they can make use of these distribution opportunities most effectively.
