I’ve gotten the ball rolling on a package to finance a feature film slate. Any thoughts on how I should approach distribution? Timing? Suggestions?

You'd approach distribution when the film is complete and ready to distribute.

Don't do anything until you have secured financing, and set up things financially. When you're in pre-production, start contacting distributors, provide them information. During production you'll create EPK (electronic press kits) and provide to distributors to build interest. As production is wrapping up you can create the teaser trailer and send out. During post you'll follow up with a new trailer. Somewhere in all this you'll be fielding offers from distributors.
