There are many different options for the distribution of independent short films. I have taken it upon myself to research different options and factors linked to conforming to achieve distribution. The following are included:
Film Distributors Information:
Post production and editing it is important for film makers to consider how to market the final short film. With the mass of competition it is challenging for those new film makers entering the market with their first official production in order to get it published and marketed. Independent and somewhat unknown new film producers may find it a struggle when it comes to 'making it' in comparison to big budget film directors and film producers who are known World wide.
Options for distribution include:
Find a film distributor:
Distributors can be individual or a group of people who are willing to spend money to distribute your film to different channels to it can reach a specific audience (target audience). There are a range of distributors willing to work with first time film makers, however it is important to be sure that you find a film maker of whom is genuine to help the success of your short film.
Self Distribution:
Self distribution is now a possibility when it comes to distributing a short film. Self distribution is likely to be considered a helpful factor when there isn't a distributor to aid in order to distribute your film.
Independent Film Theatres:
Independent film theaters are valued for those looking to distribute their short film on the 'big screen'. In this day and age there are theatres which can be rented to exhibit feature films to specific target audiences. The fee of this depends on the service while earnings for the film depend mainly on the agreement terms. Some theatres offer addition distribution services like marketing on demand websites such as Netflix, Amazon and more. These services can increase the chances of breaking in to the movie industry.
Word of Mouth: There is no law prohibiting someone to do the distribution alone. It is possible to turn to social networking sites in order to promote a film. Social networking sites can be valuable once creating a account on facebook, twitter, YouTube where potential audiences are able to follow personal accounts and gather the latest updates on a film.
Film Festivals:
Films can be promoted through the joining of film festivals. These festivals are beneficial in order to promote a short film and get the film known by the public sharing common interests in the film business.
