Today on the show we have returning champion Linda Nelson from Indie Rights. I wanted to bring Linda back to discuss how much the distribution game has changed in the three years since she was last on the show. We also discuss the American Film Market and how to work it properly.
Nelson Madison Films/Indie Rights was founded by Michael Madison and Linda Nelson because they believed that the future was bright for independent artists and that there was a better way to produce and distribute movies. They have been in business since 2000, when they produced their first film, NSYNC BIGGER THAN LIVE a Giant Screen Movie that played to sold-out crowds worldwide.
Known for innovation. SHIFTED, their first digital feature, was the first movie on Amazon’s UnBox (the predecessor of Amazon Video) and was used by Amazon to promote their platform for over five years. DELIVERED was the first independent feature to edit and master a 4K movie using Adobe CS5. Articles in Variety, HDVideoPro and an Adobe Success Story followed. Partnerships were forged early on with the leading digital platforms including Amazon, Google, Cinedigm, MGo and Adrise, and these partnerships ensure that Indie Rights can offer the very best audience opportunities for their own films, as well as the more than 300 other filmmakers they work with.
Linda Nelson began her career as an international investment banker, IT executive an entertainment real estate developer. After meeting Michael Madison, she pivoted into the movie business finally realizing her artistic potential. As an Executive Producer on NSYNC, she quickly realized that she was interested in being more “hands-on” and was the DP for her next film, SHIFTED. As a Producer on DELIVERED, she was finally able to gain experience in all aspects of the financing, development, production and distribution phases of moviemaking.
I can’t recommend Indie Rights highly enough. If you have a feature film that needs distribution do yourself a favor and check them out.
Enjoy my eye-opening conversation with Linda Nelson.

This is very useful though some stuff may be out of date. Linda is always the best interview because she explains the reasoning behind the platforms' business strategies instead of just stating how its done. Would love to see a 2024 interview with her!
AWESOME interview, Alex! Linda is so cute and wonderful and KNOWLEDGEABLE. So happy to have everything you asked validated. Well done!
Thank you Alex! Hope to see you again at the American Film Market!
Great interview!
Very informative and very useful for indie filmmakers. Linda is very transparant .. I always love her. Unfortunately I gave my film to a different distributor . They are not open.. Thanks Indie Film Hustle for your service
Distribution is one of the toughest parts of being in film, but we're kind of in a golden era insofar as having ways to get our content to people, not the least being TH-cam. It kind of then becomes about targeting keywords and gaming the algorithm to get eyes on your content. 😮
Audio is terrible, especially for a "post Guy." Alex is blasting and Linda is really quiet, I am having to turn the volume up and down as I watch. Wonderful information however and I am thankful for that.
Very Educational Podcast!
Is this old? They are saying Wonder Woman is going to TVOD and Dune is pushed to 2022--but this was released one month ago? I think this is like a year old or longer
they are sometimes recycling older interviews. by the way the reason im not subscribed anymore and just check in ocassionally if there is something new
Great talk, but please balance the volume between the host and the guest.
I wonder if all of this info is still relevant post Covid mid 2024
a bit difficult to listen to, the host audio is very loud compared to the guest.
“Dinner and a movie to get l:;;$” *crickets*
Was this interview recent?? You mention the COVID shutdown a few times.
No it was a repeat
Great interview. But please, when was this originally recorded?@@IndieFilmHustle
nevermind. I found it on spotify - three years ago - 2021.
Your content is amazing!!! Thank you! But.... My feeling is you have so many ads that you are losing people, and maybe making less revenue overall than if you had just a few less. Also, her sound is like 6DB or even maybe 9 below yours. You're a post guy! You know better!
