A question for those of you who've had your films distributed: What kinds of extras did you include with the movie?
I have a little time while I'm waiting for the composer to finish the music, so I've been putting together "bonus" material to include on the DVD. So far I have:
Trailer
Gag reel
Storyboard-to-shot comparison (for 1 scene)
Short piece on Coast Guard motor lifeboats (the main character is an ex-Coastie)
Also in the works:
Behind-the-scenes piece on the effects makeup
Short documentary about the true history behind the story
Do you think having this extra material available will help attract distributors? What were your experiences dealing with distributors with regard to extra material? Is there anything else that I should include? Should I record a commentary track, or is that better left until later?
Thanks in advance.
