Going Global Boot Camp: The Distribution Workshop Limited Edition 5 DVD Set
Get the GOING GLOBAL BOOTCAMP 5 DVD SET and learn the most effective ways to get your projects made, seen and distributed worldwide!
The Going Global Bootcamp was a 2-day distribution workshop I hosted in Los Angeles in April of 2009. Attendees flew in not just from all over the United States, but from all over the world, to attend this SOLD OUT event. But there were many more who wanted to attend, but could not and asked me to record it so they could still benefit. So after several months of sifting through footage and editing down to the best possible bits, it's finally READY! Announcing the Limited Edition GOING GLOBAL BOOT CAMP 5-DVD SET!
This DVD set will be available for a limited time only so gets yours today.
Whether you have a completed film, or a project you are trying to get off the ground, these Bootcamp DVD's will show you how to take your project to the next level, no matter what stage of production you are in.
Let's face it, getting your project up and running, or getting distribution for your completed film is no easy task, especially in this economy. But it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, it is entirely plausible to get your project going, and your completed film sold all over the world...EVEN in this economically challenged environment. And me, along with a team of expert presenters show you HOW!
With the Going Global Bootcamp 5 DVD Set you'll discover:
• Exactly what you need to do to move your script or completed film forward to the next stage
• How to get the best deal for your competed film
• How to avoid nasty pitfalls when dealing with sales agents and distributors
• The benefits/drawbacks of working with sales agents vs. going directly to distributors
• How to find the right sales agent
• How to negotiate the best possible deal with sales agents
• What to look out for in sales agent and distributor deals
• A breakdown of distribution deal structures
• 'Outside the box' international financing and distribution models
• How to project revenue for your project
• How to launch and market your film competitively in the global marketplace
• How to effectively leverage international film markets at all stages of production
• How to cast and package your project to gain the attention of investors, agents, and financing partners
• How to create a great package to present to potential investors
• How to get international financing and international co-production partners on board
• How to create a strategy for your film's distribution, specific to YOUR film and YOUR audience, at any stage
• WHY a new way of looking at old distribution models is the way for you to retain control of your films, and your career
• How to nail down a system that you can apply to each and every project in your production slate
We cover all of this, and much more, in painstaking detail and place a clear emphasis on practical and pragmatic solutions for getting your films distributed globally.
WHO IS THIS BOOTCAMP FOR?
Simply put, this Bootcamp is for anyone with a film in any stage of production, either narrative or documentary, from script stage to a completed film. This Bootcamp has been designed to take you through moving your project forward through all stages, whether you're in financing stage, have a finished film or are anywhere in between. The earlier you start planning for Global Distribution the better.

In this DVD set you will hear from a select group of guest experts who speak on a variety of subjects to help you gain a greater understanding of launching and distributing your projects globally.
