PERSPECTIVES Congrats on the Film! When Can I See It?

You made an independent film. Now you need to get it seen, and the old route is narrowing. Stephen Follows, one of the industry's most-cited data analysts, traces three-quarters of a million films from premiere to release and collects the experiences of filmmakers that took distribution into their own hands. This session turns it into a practical playbook for filmmakers who control their rights: what it really costs, how long it really takes, what actually works, and the lessons from a hundred films that did it themselves.
