ADVICE

Self-Distribution Saves Theaters And Filmmakers

  • Distribute films yourself and negotiate fair splits with theaters instead of relying on studios.
  • Tour screenings, split ticket revenue 50/50, sell merch, and build an audience directly.
INSIGHT

Fewer Movies, Fewer Breakthroughs

  • Hollywood is releasing far fewer theatrical films now, shrinking chances for standout work.
  • Lower volume means fewer hits, so independent output and quantity matter for artistic breakthroughs.
ANECDOTE

Touring A Film Like Stand-Up

  • Peter sold his film to small-town theaters by networking and treating screenings like stand-up tours.
  • He played drive-ins, multiplexes, and rural venues and learned promotion from comedian friends.
