The harsh truth: most distributors today offer no minimum guarantees, bury you in uncapped marketing costs, and focus on online-only releases—something you can do yourself. Why let someone else control your revenue when you can take back the reins?

This 3-day event will show you how to become your own distributor, market your film effectively, and create real revenue streams—not just for your current film, but for every project you create moving forward.

Whether you’re working on a tiny micro-budget indie film or something bigger, the strategies you’ll learn will give you the skills to build an audience, distribute your films profitably, and sustain a lifelong filmmaking career—on your terms.

What You’ll Learn Over 3 Transformative Days

🎯 DAY 1: Release Preparation and Building Your Audience
20 May (5-7:30PM BST | 12-2:30PM ET | 9AM-11:30PM PT)

Understand the current distribution landscape and why waiting for a traditional deal is holding you back.

The critical assets you need for a successful release—poster, trailer, subtitles, and more.

Audience-building secrets: How to rally fans, grow social media followings, and build an email database that turns viewers into loyal supporters.

How to promote yourself as a filmmaker and why that is the ultimate long-term strategy that ensures each future film is easier to market, fund, and sell.

🎬 DAY 2: The Release – Become Your Own Distributor
21 May (5-7:30PM BST | 12-2:30PM ET | 9AM-11:30PM PT)

How to get your film on platforms like Amazon, Tubi, and IMDb TV—step by step.

Maximize profits by understanding the right distribution models: TVOD, SVOD, AVOD—what they are and which will make YOU the most money.

Algorithm strategies to ensure your film gets seen (and doesn’t get buried).

The untapped YouTube method: How to release and monetize your film on the biggest AVOD Platform in the world even without any subscribers

Discover niche platforms that will pay for your film and expand your reach.

🚀 DAY 3: Marketing – The Revenue-Generating Blueprint
22 May (5-7:30PM BST | 12-2:30PM ET | 9AM-11:30PM PT)

The marketing strategy that any filmmaker can utilise that will guarantee a great first month after your release

Live virtual events: The ultimate low-cost method for generating buzz and revenue.

Social media marketing secrets that drive REAL results—no general advice, no fluff, no empty “hacks.”

Paid ads that work: How to spend strategically and achieve a measurable return on investment.

Unlock the power of press, influencers, and online communities to get your film seen by the right audience.

This Event Is About More Than Just One Film
The strategies you’ll learn aren’t just for your current project—they’re timeless tools that will help you succeed with every film you make. By learning how to build an audience, self-distribute, and market effectively, you’re creating a system that generates revenue for years to come.
Imagine this:

Each film you make becomes more profitable than the last.

Your audience grows, eagerly waiting for your next release.

You’re no longer reliant on distributors, grants, or deals that lead to nothing.

This is about building a sustainable, lifelong career as a filmmaker—and earning what you deserve.
