I get a lot of submissions to my portal in the upper Right of my website.  In fact, it’s how I get most if not all of the films I distribute.  As such, I’ve noticed some trends filmmakers tend to have.  So as with most recurring things that happen to me in the business, I decided to write a blog about it.

If you thought that I missed a few genres in my blog last week, it might be that they’re more classically sub-genres.  The biggest difference between a genre and a sub-genre is that a genre is generally a tone or a feel of a film (and sometimes some elements related to those tones) and a sub genre is more related to Themes, Settings, Style or niche audiences that targeted largely by those themes settings, or style. Some sub-genres pair better with certain genres than others, and it’s common to have more than one in a film.  More as we go through them.

Part of what I do through the consulting arm of Guerrilla Rep Media is review peoples Decks and business plans.  One thing that I keeps coming up in these documents is that entirely too many filmmakers list their distribution strategy as sole their festival run.  There’s a lot of issues with this line of thinking, so as I do with any question that keeps coming up I thought I would write a blog about it.  So without further adieu, here’s why you probably won’t get distribution from your festival run.
