So I could make money on my library of feature films, I would appreciate it if there are any distributors of producers that know how to get my 35mm feature films on streaming so I could make some more money on them.
Hi Vic Alexander - this Stage 32 2-part class on navigating today's world of distribution has so much valuable information that may be helpful to you (and I just saw that it's on sale today). Here's a link so you can check it out: https://www.stage32.com/education/products/creating-a-distribution-and-marketing-strategy-for-independent-film
1) Get them transferred to digital. 1080p ProRes HQ Mov minimum, 4K (3840 x 2160) if you want to future-proof.
2) Create trailers, posters, promo images. Write up short plot descriptions.
3) Submit to Amazon Video Direct or Filmhub to manage your own distribution.
4) Alternatively, submit to several aggregators like Indie Rights or Gravitas. If they’re interested, read the contracts and see what deal you like. Assemble all your deliverables and sign on the dotted line with one.
5) Promote your release. With social media imploding, email is the best way to connect with people. Do a newsletter through a service like Mailchimp or Substack.
6) See if you can get reviewed on blogs and YouTube. Offer exclusive clips, interviews. Write press releases.
