Distribution

As for distribution, when it comes to locally produced projects you are limited, but at the same time given a variety of options on what to do. For example, film festivals will obviously play a big role. The Florida Film festival, for example, takes place on April 12-21. However if we wouldn't be able to get all editing and filming done in time; we could easily make the 2020 Florida Film festival around the same time next year. Another large and well-known festival which we could submit an application for would be the 2020 Sundance film festival in Utah, which is usually hosted around late January. The movie would also be posted up on Youtube and Vimeo and be able to watch upon purchase of a relatively low price. But to bring in traffic and viewers to the movie and even our site we would purchase Google ads and pay to become higher ranked for certain searched phrases such as "new horror film" or "murder film". As well, we could purchase a couple of advertisements on IMDB and even offer free viewings of the movie online if the people were to leave a good review on IMDB. This would retract the free tickets as IMDB is built off of traffic and popularity. If our film is being left nothing but decent reviews and popularity, It will also promote itself upon IMDB and more people will be interested in viewing the film. Crowdfunding websites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have also become extremely popular for up and coming directors. These websites allow people to fund a movie early while they also get viewership and interjection into the film. This is good for one reason, once the person makes a donation; you have solidified them as someone who will view your project and is more likely to share the viewership with their friends and family. If they see the movie as well off the advertising they will do themselves is great as they feel like they had some importance in the creation of the project.
