50 Concepts To Embrace To Benefit The Non-Dependent Distribution Of Your Film

Part NINE Of The New Distribution Playbook For Non-Dependent Cinema.

new day rising, something coming on the horizon.

Today’s post could’ve AKA “Before You Confront The World, Please Fill Your Head With Wise Thoughts”.

Either way, I think it is one of the most necessary posts I have yet written…

Are you ready to birth your movie out into this world? Have you done the necessary homework? I bet you are prepared with a lot of the little things, but have you done all the work that has to live in your head from here on in? Permanently is a long time!

There are some concepts I think are very important for you to embrace; they are going to help you go far into this unknown land of being an active participant in the direct distribution of your film. You are going to want to hold these concepts close. In fact, I think they well may be absolute necessities to never let them go. At the very least, keep them in your carry-on.

We will save the specific tactics and details for a later post, but today we are looking wide. Your mindset is not only going to help you with the fortitude that will pull you through, but it will also switch on the pattern recognition that you will need to spot the right decision with all the required speed.

Many of these principles and concepts we have discussed in this newsletter before. If you are a halfway decent student, most should be in your tool kit already (unless I am not much of a teacher!). I am confident that some of you’ve already mastered the inverted pyramid observational method too, starting broad and narrowing down. This is good. If you have all of those well held within, you’ve got this.

Look at this moment. Do you feel you know how we got there, or at least many of the factors? If you are feeling a bit foggy, we’ve already addressed a lot of the how; you can dig into those posts, but I think with just a little contemplation, you’ll agree we are in a transitional moment. The times are a-changing.  Oh yeah!  And you are going to be part of that change now.
