Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq., Ipg I was talking to RB a while ago about Netflix’s debt situation and he said it wasn’t the case. I’m not sure who to believe!
Thanks for sharing, Pat Alexander. That shows that one production company, producer, etc. might say no, but another company or something else could say yes. Rejection doesn't mean we quit. It means we...

Ashley Renee Smith I love this.
4DX allows films to be augmented with various practical effects, including motion seats, wind, strobe lights, simulated snow, and scents. What are people's thoughts on 4DX? If you've gone to a 4DX screening, what was your experience? I'd love to hear your thoughts and discuss!

There were two years when my husband and I lived in LA and we couldn't afford to travel home for Christmas. So instead, my sister joined us for the holidays and we would see a 4DX film at LA Live to c...

4DX sounds exciting, Dustin Richardson. Busch Gardens used some of the same features for one of its shows years ago. I'm not sure if Busch Gardens used 4DX or something else.

I'm sure many of you have stories about the music distribution industry.
The UMG fight with TikTok has really hurt a lot of artists. Like Vine before it (which helped launch Shawn Mendes' career - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqZFr3_uqsA), TikTok is also where a lot of new music gets heard. I've...

Hey Ya'll so I have a unique topic point. So obviously distribution plays a big role for our films especially in a highly invested project, but one thing I find very frustrating is sitting and waiting in between projects to get off the ground. So I have decided to post one micro film a month on YouT...

Hi, everyone. I wanted to start a post that'll help Stage 32 members who are looking for distribution. What's one piece of advice that you have about finding distribution (or more than one)? Thanks.
Great question, Susanne Palm! Hope you get the answer on this post.
IMDb is a great resource for this. You have the best chance of making a meaningful connection to distributors if you approach ones that are appropriate for your project. To get some ideas on places to...
