Other than the movies previously discussed? Step Off has had luck...you can see several threads in Userfilms that have distribution angles, several different models. Stricken, Deuce of Spades, and No Greater Love and others. Also, several movies that will likely see Distribution...Superseeds among the more recent and popular discussions.

Are distributors expecting microbudget films to arrive with a final sound mix these days? Or is that an expense best left for negotiations?

I think it depends but Distributors want a fully delivered feature whenever possible. However, larger ones have facilities that can handle some post-related functions but you will be charged. If they aren't paying for the film, then they may likely not be inclined to want to spend $ on a sound mix. If they are, then they'll be docking any up front movie for the expense of the sound mix or any deliverable items that you aren't able to provide.

Hi good people. Just thought I would share an extended trailer to an indy feature I wrote and directed some years back but only got the funds recently to complete. There was a small distributor interested in releasing it on dvd but looks like they're all going to jail for embezzlement. Now starts the proccess of trying to find a distributor for this little film of mine.

Kevin,

Good luck with finding a new distributor. You got some great press quotes for it. Should find a home.

Shoot me an email if you don't have luck soon: martin@cinematl.com

Looks like an interesting movie. I will say the trailer is a bit long though. You may want to cut one that is less than 2 minutes for ease of consumption by distributors you're going to target with your queries.
