Hello Stage32! I'm an independent filmmaker living in Omaha Nebraska right now. I co-worte and produced the feature film MISFIT HEIGHTS, a puppet zombie musical and it was just recently released on iTunes! We accomplished this by raising funds with a Kickstarter campaign and going through Distribber.com. I was curious on how other filmmakers approach their distribution plans when they develop a film? Have you secured distribution before production? Do those deals changed during production or can the distribution company change their minds?
Thanks Lynn, I've taken advantage of Vimeo and Distribber. I wish I would have known about Tugg.com when we finished the film, but might look into doing a few theatrical releases through them and see if we can build interest. Would love to find a traditional deal for VOD, hopefully the next film will have a better marketing budget to help with that.
Hi Daniel! I am about to launch a similar campaign and I too am interested in distribution. Welcome to Stage 32!
