Seeing your film distributed to a big audience is every filmmaker's dream but how the money is actually made, and shared, all comes down to what's written in your distribution contract. So we've brought in an expert to teach you all about the complexities of feature film distribution contracts and what you should look for, and ask for, to get the best deal for you and your team.

Distribution is often the point in the filmmaking process where filmmakers could lose their creative control and miss out on maximizing their financial gain. In order to protect yourself and you project, it is crucial you understand distribution and the key elements in your distribution contract. This could make or break whether you and your financiers reap rewards or never see a dime. The initial contract you receive from a distributor, in most cases, is never in your favor so it is important you know what terms can be negotiated and what to look out for in agreements.

This exclusive Stage 32 webinar will share the key elements of distribution contracts and provide you with the business acumen you need before entering into any negotiation with a distributor or sales agent.

Here to teach you the business and art of selling your independent feature film is accomplished entertainment attorney Larry Weinberg, who has worked with such leaders in the industry as WME, Mandalay Pictures, Lavely & Singer, Storyopolis, Sandbox TV, and more! Larry has helped his clients successfully sell their independent feature films to buyers across the industry and will teach you everything you need to know to navigate the complex world of film distribution. Larry will equip you with the knowledge of everything from how acquisitions work for studios and streamers and what distribution approach you should take based on the genre of your film, to how to approach your feature film distribution contracts and the main elements in the contract you should look out for to best protect yourself and your film.

You will walk away from this webinar with the know-how to successfully navigate the legal minefield of independent feature film distribution contracts and negotiations.
