Thanks for the advice. I just tried to e-mail you. Looking forward to the reply!

Thank you for your advice. Would streaming your project on a website or even TH-cam be an option to gain visibility for your work so that the next project may receive more support?

How do you get distribution?

Thank you for reliable information. I wonder if they offer in Nigeria and America festivals?

Thanks Alexi. Almost everything I've seen about distribution is very confusing, but you offer very pragmatic advice. That being said, what I want to know is specifically, step-by-step, what to do when you have a movie you're about to make and don't know where to go in terms of distribution. Let's say I want to self-distribute a comedy I'm making....what exactly are the steps to start that process? Talk to me like I'm a kindergartener. Step one, step two, step three...Thanks!

Great video as always and THANK YOU! Pitching to film funders and producers: Pitch Deck or a Pitch Website? I know the traditional way is a Pitch Deck or Look Book, however, I made a pitch website which is essentially the pitch deck and look book in website form. It’s much easier to share because it’s a link, always current (no outdated decks), way easier to embed reference videos and much more interactive. What are your thoughts?

Hi Alex, great stuff! When you refer to budgets - $2M, $3M, etc... Are you referring to the Australian Dollar or the American Dollar? Thank you!

Is this for real? Have you ever actually financed TV series? An excellent point about lack of public data available when it comes to TV series (but there are workarounds. You always need to do your homework. I produce foreign-language series and I know exactly what my 'limits' are). Everything else, however, does not stand scrutiny. I'm almost tempted to do a rebuttal video

Very interesting, thanks for the info

I am currently in the process of securing financing for my third project. My film will be shot in the wilderness of Washington State, which offers one of the best tax incentives in the country (USA). However, the issue is that they won't even consider reviewing my project until it is fully financed.

Good

I have a book made on real life story and like to make a movie out of it who can I contact about it

The one with the money behind the movie is the boss.

are you talking about short films or the feature length films sir?

1.how do you find the sales agent 2.what is the name of the best films to submit to? 4.what platform did you find the sales agent? 5. How much does it cost to sell to Netflix Thank you so very much for this extremely valuable information!

Thanks so much for this video. Do you have a sales agent that you recommend for self distribution? Thanks for this video!

there are some point that is not clear to me about the process of distribution of a movie let's take a practical example: 1 I have a new film production and distribution company or just distribution, but I don't have any films to distribute yet because my company Is young, how make myself known to theaters? 2 How a movie arrive on the theatre? Taking into account that only in USA there are hundreds of theaters and it seems rather difficult to contact them all one by one, if I want distribute the movie in all world all is more difficult. How usually a distributor done? 3 A distributor always screens all the films it deals with in the same sales?

Question- I have a picture locked film (comedy), but it hasn't gone through a post house yet to polish sound, coloring, VFX and scoring. Would you still go??? Thx

Thanks. I'm about to attend AFM with the goal of raising some finance for my next feature. A potential funder has asked me for a finance plan before our meeting, so this video was very helpful, and so was the template.

Alexi - I'm working with an author, very provocative non-fiction book about how she was forced into marriage at age 13, raped, difficult stuff to read honestly - how do we find a sales agent? I think the author might be willing finance a Proof of Concept, but we aren't filmmakers. Thanks for this video! Very helpful!!

Thank you for making things so simple and clear.

Speak up!

I'm working on a non budget comedy film, and likely send it to a festival (maybe even seek a distributor); any advice?

This helps a lot! Thank you so much!🙏

Superb. Easy to understand, clear.

Great video, thank you.

This is amazing, thank you. Heading into producing my second feature film (a Christmas film) and the first at 1 million dollars. This is the exact right information at the right time!

Great Info

Always valuable Info

Hi. I can see that Filmhub distribution process is slow, bureaucratic and not exactly transparent. What about direct distribution on Amazon Prime Video?

Can't wait to hear the financing hell video 😅 I didn't even identify that I was there. Thanks for this video, amazing defining terms. Well helpful!

Hi Alexi, love the content (email and videos). Question about financing, especially for those without a track record. You've spoke before about not needed a concept trailer/film for distributors or investors, but what about for audience development? What are your thoughts on using a proof of concept trailer or short to build an audience for your film early on? Especially using targeted marketing to try to identify who that audience is. Would having an existing fanbase (even if small) that represents a larger demographic help during financing or for getting the attention of sales agents/distributors? Specifically knowing who the primary audience is likely to be and how they generally consume film (theaters vs streaming, etc.). Is there any value add there?

@AlexiOuzas, I have movie currently which is getting played in North America theatre , India theatre and United Kingdom. I would need to contact Netflix to sell my movie. Please share the options available to contact Netflix.

This is a very common problem across creative fields where there’s a long period of development after initial inspiration, it’s essentially a kind of creative drift, it happens in bands for instance when they take too long to record an album, new ideas and influences start to come in and second guessing starts and you end up far from the original spark that set it off in the first place. Experienced writers and directors will often be well acquainted with this trap and know how to handle it, the good news is that stepping away and returning to it, to the original idea often will stimulate the original inspiration again, if the vision was compelling enough it should do this.

what would you recommend if I have a million dollar idea for a script but need assistance from the very beginning?

Excellent content, your transparency gives you a highly valuable edge over similar channels, and the plan sound great. I’ve found that the approach of filmmakers helping one another is a massive net benefit that creates a lifting of all boats effect. Zero sum thinking does the opposite and keeps people in isolated silos.

A list of top Indy film distributors in US and Europe?

i am making my first featured film and really need to know how to raise finance for it.

Producer makes the director's movie a reality.

Love it! It's been great working with you thus far - looking forward to what's next!

great video! blessings!

Thanks for the videos love your content👍

Why not put it on TH-cam?

This is great. Well done for making this video because so many indie film makers have never even heard of the term "Chain of Title".

Is 25% ROI good?

Alexis, you are a gem!

The most valuable 10 mins I have spent in teaching me the steps available to me in selling my film. Thanks mate. Liked and subbed.

Hey Alexi, I am starting to looking into funding for my film in Maine and did research on Maine Tax credits and saw some options and would love to talk more about it with you to get a clear understanding. Would love to chat more

Hey, I can’t get any contact details for Netflix South Africa and I have a series that I want to pitch to them. How can I get in contact with them or someone that can assist? Can you help?

Easier said than done.
