Since I've been getting tons of private message and emails from you guys we are also starting a film workshop series locally in Florida. The first workshop is on Guerilla Marketing and Self-Distribution of your Film. Here is some info:
Independent filmmaking is alive and well, its independent distribution that is dead. At a time when "independent" films have to have a star and at least a couple million-dollar budget, how do you get your films seen? Forget Sundance, Miramax, and HBO. These places get hundreds of submissions a year. How do you get your films seen?
From getting free media coverage to myspace, to film festivals and selling your productions through the Internet and DVD. Alex Ferrari gives you a street-level instruction and real-world examples on how to promote, distribute, and sell your production. He challenges you to assess the real market for your film and provides examples of other filmmakers getting their work out, after their films were turned down by traditional distributors.
Independent producer/director Alex Ferrari’s award-winning short film “BROKEN” (http://www.whatisbroken.com) has done the following using his marketing and self distribution techniques:
- Screened in over 140 international film festivals (85% of them without paying a submission fee)
- Had his $8000 Mini-DV short film reviewed by world renowned film critic Roger Ebert
- Self distributed the film on DVD and sold over 5000 units (@ $19.95) using only his website
- Attracted over 3 million unique visitors to the films website (nearly all for free)
- Has been reviewed or mentioned in over 350 world-wide news outlets including film industry juggernauts:
(Ain’t It Cool News, JoBlo.com, Dark Horizons.com, Latino Review.com, Yahoo News, Movies Online.ca)
- Garnered interest from major Hollywood film studios
- Spawned a book on the film “The Art of BROKEN”
Alex will also will be featured in the widely released book “Making Short Films: The Complete Guide from Script to Screen” coming out April 8, 2008.
