After everything that's been written and spoken about ad nauseam, Theatrical Distribution is still an elusive mystery to most producers.

They want to know:

• how do I get it?
• Does it really matter that much?
• How much will I make?
• Will someone pay me for a theatrical distribution deal?
• How much will it cost if I do my own theatrical distribution?
• Can it help with my overall distribution strategy or should I skip it?
• and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

In this virtual seminar we demystify Theatrical Distribution. We talk costs, revenue, rewards, benefits, advantages, and disadvantages and get to the bottom of this elusive topic and figure out if it's right for you and your film!
