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

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!
