Film distribution is how a film is made available to the public. Now a days, distribution of a film is careful and long thought out process. Many films need the help from a good sales agent who will represent your film in film festivals and markets. They would also introduce your film to distributors and try and sell the film to different places such as airlines and hotel chains. Other movies are sometimes sold in bundles with movies that are of the same genre or are about the same thing. Sales agents are the link between the filmmaker and the distribution company which is why they try to sell the films they represent to distributors which then distribute them to TV networks, cinemas, and other places and platforms. Even once the films are sold to distributors, the films are not always distributed. They can decide against it if they think it will cost too much especially since traditional distribution can cost a lot of money. Distribution also includes making an eye catching trailer that grabs peoples attention and makes them interested in seeing your film.
To distribute my film I would use a variety of traditional distribution techniques. I would start by finding a good and successful sales agent to represent my film in festivals. I would also find distributors to try and sell my film to different places and make a trailer that interests my target audience. The trailer would create suspense and leave off on a cliff hanger so the people watching are left wanting more.
