Hello all Indie Folks! can we have a comprehensive distribution FAQs?
One main reason I want to know is I am planning to produce my own movies. (I have over 5 years' experience in top Advertising agencies as a creative, took a sabattical, went to Film School for 4 years, majored in Cinematography, and now shoot/produce/direct).
I am putting together a small sum of money, pooled from various businessmen friends and want to make my own movies. I want to make sure I tap the full potential of distribution..Threatre, Satellite, DVD, Internet etc...
My moves will be Indian Language ones. I am ALSO looking at the VAST number of expatriate Indians, worldwide.
Funny thing is, India has over 30 languages and some 300 dialects. So there is a small film industry and a small audience for each language!
I also want to know if you guys can suggest some DVD distrubutor who is trustworthy, and who will distribute foreign language (read: Non-English) DVDs happily, worldwide.
any suggestions/advice will be most welcome. please assume I know nothing.
