There are 4,000 to 5,000 English-language feature films made each year, and many without any meaningful distribution --not to mention the flood of documentaries and short films that have become so popular.

The distribution game is changing with every day for a variety of reasons. No one can be sure what the next 'big deal' with distribution will be. But when the dust clears one of these days, you can be sure that the internet will be at the heart of video distribution.

This is your chance to get in on the game with minimal investment and risk to you. We try and provide you with everything you need to know about online distribution techniques and internet marketing. So welcome aboard.

Comment by Mike Cervello on July 14, 2010 at 2:42am: Be prepared to self-distribute your first film. Consider selling DVDs, VOD, and paid per views on the web. Self-distributing to theaters and cinemas is financial suicide.

A wise man once said, "know your market BEFORE you write your script." Research the market you want to target before you go into it.

Also, know what your money, your budget, can realistically buy. And, ask yourself, how will I get my money back?
