Distribution In Reverse
+ a July 4th promo for Funding and Packaging success
After my newsletter on Monday about Distribution that Keeps On Changing, I received some updates from you all by email on your recent distribution experiences. Some people are sitting on 3-4 films that have had some sort of domestic distribution but just haven’t been able to crack international for love or money.
One thing I’ll say is this - if you want to maximize the international sales potential of your film, you want to be engineering that from the get go. I counsel this till I’m blue in the face but most people want to plow forward with packaging and development on their own terms and then act surprised when their distribution options are limited later on 🤷🏻♀️
Guys, you know better than that! For those of you who have been around since the beginning you may remember my very first course was called Distribution In Reverse….for a reason. It’s because I had just come off being a sales agent for several years, got my first book published, and was having the same conversations back then of - back into your budget, back into your package, and reverse engineer distribution from the outset.
It’s why I took the time in the first half of this year to fully update our educational materials around this methodology and release two new courses with all the latest strategies I would recommend now in 2024 of reverse engineering your projects for distribution success.
Funding Strategies Playbook and Packaging Strategies Playbook is the result of all this and you can pick up the two-fer bundle now during our July 4 promotion for a song.
My two newest flagship courses almost for the price of one :)
What About Free?

A question to clarify. When you say that people have films that have had 'some sort of domestic distribution but just haven’t been able to crack international for love or money', do you mean that they got theatrical domestically and could not do so internationally? Or....? TIA
Happy Independence day to you Stacey! I agree on the distribution from the release date, and work backwards. :)
