I just landed in NY from London and I have to say I wish I could have stayed in London just a few days longer....but alas, the tour must continue! In London we had 2 great events - the first one with Chris Jones on Sunday - almost 4 information-packed hours to a very attentive group of people. And on Sunday, a book signing and distribution clinic at the British Film Institute where we had another great turnout despite inclement weather and a bank holiday. So welcome all the new Londoners to this newsletter!

One of the most commonly asked questions during the last 10 days of travel to Cannes and London has been about Digital Aggregaters. Digital Aggregaters are companies who specialize in aggretating content (films, tv programs, webisodes), and securing digital distribution deals on all the hundreds of worldwide platforms out there. As a filmmaker, yes you can submit your film to digital platforms here and there, but you aren't dedicating your career to knowing every single platform out there, and what type of deal to make, etc. That's where Digital Aggregaters come in and so I went ahead and created a little primer for you, as well as a short list of aggreaters with contact details, that you can use to get started.

And as I mentioned, I've just landed in NY and tonight, Wed May 28 I'll be doing a book signing and film distribution clinic at Barnes & Noble in Tribeca. If you're in the area, do come out and say HI! You can catch all the details of the event right here: http://www.filmspecific.com/public/510.cfm

Alright everyone, I'm off to hit the streets of the big apple (with jet lag mind you!). If you have any thoughts or comments on Digital Aggregaters, please let us know - and post your comments in the Film Specific Forums: http://www.filmspecific.com/members/forum/openforum.cfm?forum=1

Talk to you soon!
