DESCRIPTION: All too often in the independent film world, making a movie
is not nearly as difficult as securing a distribution deal. Getting
distribution is frequently more challenging than raising financing and

make a good film, distribution will be easily obtainable. This is a huge
mistake. Distributors must feel confident that they can make a make a
solid return on their investment to cover the cost and time involved in
distributing a film. Although not necessary, having a name director or
star can improve the chances of securing distribution. Often film
festivals are used to get distribution.
• In this introductory class we will look at the various ways to
obtain U.S. film distribution as well as how to negotiate a U.S.
theatrical distribution agreement.

NEW ENGLAND FILMMAKERS MEETING - August 19, 2010
NEFM presents Meet & Greet with Film-Friendly Steven... Logo
As members of the film community in the New England area, it is vital that we have our voice heard to help ensure future work in our region.
Steven Howitt, a member of SAG/AFTRA and MPC is running against current State Rep D'Amico, who sponsored HB3854 - a bill that if it had passed would have rolled back the Mass Film Tax Credit, and by it's mere proposal has arguably shown its' effect on this past year's film production activity.
The New England Film Movement is issue-oriented, and not party-aligned. It is critical that as a group we show the diversity of talent, culture, socio-economic status and vocational calling behind the scenes. "Film-Foes" are quick to dismiss the importance of the movement as frivolous and geared toward Hollywood studios making money. This does not accurately depict the true nature of our collective mission, nor does it take into account the backbone of this industry which is comprised of creative, hard-working neighbors and constituents, including not only actors, but writers, designers, stylists, electricians, contractors, caterers, EMTs and so many more - few other ventures touch as many ancillary business as what we are involved in and committed to... hobbyists and full-timers, union and non-union.
Please take the time to join us on Thursday, August 19th, to show the legislature the force behind the New England Film Movement. Your presence alone will go a long way to illustrate that we are a group committed to making New England a viable option and smart choice for film production, and giving us all "The Right To Work."
6-8pm Meet & Greet with Steven Howitt
8-10pm Mix & Mingle with Industry Professionals
Suggested Donation $10
