What's in The Distribution Playbook?

A short breakdown of what I found most useful in Seed&Spark's comprehensive guide to all things distribution.

Hello! Welcome to Nothing Bogus, an Indie Film Listings+ newsletter. The + is commentary, interviews, dispatches, tutorials, and other groovy stuff. I’m going to start with the +. If you subscribed for the listings and only the listings, scroll as fast as you can to the bottom of this email. If you came for the +, no scrolling necessary :)

Early last month, Seed&Spark founder Emily Best launched The Distribution Playbook, a free database for information on all aspects of distribution, made in collaboration with indie-film distributor and exhibition platform Kinema.

The Playbook is a living document that will be updated semi-regularly with new case studies, information, and corrections from filmmakers, producers, and others in the indie film world. Already, though, it features a lot of practical information and resources for indie filmmakers navigating their film’s release. It breaks down each step in the process, giving a broad overview, defining key terms, and providing templates and models.
