Filmmakers learn New Rules of Film Distribution and Minimum Guarantees in Upcoming Expert Workshop

HOLLYWOOD, CA, UNITED STATES, February 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In this panel workshop featuring Film Sales Agent Rene Leda, Moving Picture Media Group Producer Ray Ellingsen, and Film Analytics Expert Jeff Hardy, indie producers learn:
- Why changes in the entertainment industry that are bad for the mini-majors and studios are turning out to be great for independent film and TV producers.
- How savvy indie producers are earning funding and minimum guarantees from streamers and distributors through meeting specific project requirements.
- Statistics on film audiences online and off that explain why feature film content demand is accelerating worldwide.
- Why audience identification, audience building, and pre-production film marketing, has suddenly become as much a part of filmmaking as casting, directing, and editing a film.
- How new film funding models and film distribution strategies use proof of market, project/genre appropriate name-talent, and other factors to determine film value before production.

Filmmakers confronting this year’s hungry, but very turbulent media marketplace, will find this expert workshop covers skills they need to thrive in 2025. Tickets are available at NancyFultonMeetups.com.
