FAQ
Why are so few independent films ever distributed?
Many indie filmmakers believe that distributors will take their films.
Because they love the work, distributors will likely buy their films.
However, this is rarely the case. Distributors often use independent filmmakers.
They may delay a film's release until after the awards season is over.
Or they delay the release date of a low-budget film until after the summer blockbuster season has begun.
Distributors may also keep films from the public until people have already spent hundreds of money on tickets, popcorn or candy.
They don't wish to lose those profits.
How much does Hollywood make per year?
Producing a movie can cost around $100 million. You could make ten movies a month for a decade and still have enough money left to buy a small nation.
You could own an island with an airfield, power plant and bank.
If this doesn't sound fun, you are insane.
Is Hollywood larger than Bollywood?
Producing films that are well-received is the most difficult challenge.
Problem is that many movies are competing for people's money and time. And if you don't stand out from the crowd, you won't have much chance of getting watched.
What makes a movie a success? What makes an actor well-known? Or a director? It's more than talent, it's also luck. The best actors may be the best, but they will not succeed if they are writing bad scripts.
Two main types exist when it comes down to film: large-budget blockbusters or small independent productions. Blockbuster films can cost hundreds and millions of dollars to make and distribute. These blockbuster movies are usually produced by big studios who want their movies to reach as broad an audience as possible. But these big-budget films tend to appeal mainly to older audiences.
Independent films, which are typically smaller-scale productions, can be financed either by individual investors or groups. These films often focus on niche markets and cater to specific tastes. These films are usually easier to market and produce. But, they aren't necessarily cheaper to view. Many indie films can be difficult to find.
Is it possible to have both types of films? Are we going to need both big blockbuster movies or small independent films? Well, I think that Hollywood is actually bigger than Bollywood. Hollywood produces more movies than India every year.
What are the steps to starting my own distribution company
No. A distributor is required to operate a distribution firm.
You don't have to distribute films from other people, but you must still follow certain rules.
You can't, for example, charge different prices to different theaters. You can't charge different fees for different customers.
It is also against the law to sell your services or products to other companies.
