DISTRIBUTION - THE INSIDE SCOOP

Presented in partnership with Telus StoryHive

How do distributors decide which films to buy? How do they determine the best release strategy? How do they target the perfect audience? 

Join CUFF for a candid panel discussion on the extremely important role that distributors play in the world of filmmaking. With more cinematic content available than ever before, the role of distributors is becoming even more essential in ensuring that films find their audience. There are many different potential homes for any given film. With this panel we aim to explore how distributors determine the best strategy for each film, as well as explain exactly what they are looking for in the films that they represent.

This workshop will provide essential information for filmmakers in all stages of their career and provide the participants with a better understanding of the 'Hows & Whys' of the complicated business of film distribution.
