Exclusive Interview: How Films at Sundance Are Kickstarting Their Way to Better Distribution

Exclusive Interview: How Films at Sundance Are Kickstarting Their Way to Better Distribution | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Oakley Anderson-Moore:  "While it's true that many Sundance films get distribution deals, they aren't always the deals of the filmmaker's dreams. With over a dozen feature films at Sundance this year that raised part of their budget on Kickstarter, is it possible to use that crowdfunding platform as collateral to attract a distributor? Or can you bypass a distributor all together using Kickstarter?"

What 'The Interview' Accidentally Taught Us About Digital Film Distribution

What 'The Interview' Accidentally Taught Us About Digital Film Distribution | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Paul Tassi:  "In the end, Sony couldn’t have come up with a better marketing campaign for The Interview if they tried. The Seth Rogen/James Franco feature was originally destined to be forgotten nearly as soon as it was released, sandwiched somewhere between Pineapple Express and This is The End in terms of quality. Instead, it practically started World War III."

How to find an audience for your indie film | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Frank Rose:  "It's never been easy to market an indie film—but in a blockbuster universe, getting people to care about a low-budget production devoid of stars and lacking the enormous, built-in fan base of The Dark Knight or The Hunger Games can seem all but impossible."
