Hey everyone, I'm new here. Been reading through the forums and really learning a lot! I am trying to find information on how best to distribute low-budget movies on my own.
Me and a partner have access to 6 low-budget horror/comedy DV movies. The owners of these films have allowed us to try and distribute them.
We're not looking to make much money. Each of the movies was made for less than 10k. They are admittably not great films, so sending them to film festivals would not be worthwhile. But, they are of good enough quality to compete in the low-budget markets (assumming there is one!).
Can anyone suggest a way for me to distribute DVDs like this to the sell-through market? Are there specific retail advertising magazines that cater to low-budget movies?
I have come across companies on the web like Maverick (http://www.maverickentertainment.cc) and York (http://www.yorkentertainment.com) that seem to do what me and my partner hope to do.... albeit on a smaller scale. These companies obviously make money selling these DVDs and I am trying to figure out how they are doing it.
Thanks,
Robert
