Indie filmmaking self-distribution empowers filmmakers to take control of their work’s distribution and financial destiny. By bypassing traditional distribution channels, creators directly engage with their audience, tailoring release strategies to their specific market needs. This approach often involves leveraging online platforms, social media, and film festivals to build a following and generate buzz. It requires a mix of marketing acumen and a deep understanding of the target audience, but it also offers the potential for higher profit margins and a more intimate connection with viewers. Successful self-distribution not only maximizes visibility but also cultivates a loyal fan base, essential for sustaining an independent filmmaker's career.

Yes we do but, since this is our first year in operation, it's kinda all over the place. Financials cycle out for a year in March and by then we'll have a more stable track record.

One would have to have enough of a following / fanbase to benefit from self-distribution. Most do not. Key is to not get screwed by the big fish.
