Making and producing a film is a momentous accomplishment in itself. There are significant investments to be made across TV, films, and theatre these days. With a focus on capital deployments in quality content and collaborations with gold-standard talent, you can bring more opportunities and earn better profit.
I accidentally came across Ken DuBow Encino reviews and found out he has been helping filmmakers and TV producers to reach their full potential in distribution. He understands how to promote your film and how to reach an international audience. Of course, you can sell your film or TV production independently, but I feel working with a distributor is always ideal to increase your chances of success.
Who is Ken DuBow Encino?
Ken DuBow Encino works at Access Entertainment, a boutique sales agency, that strives to guide filmmakers and TV producers to reach their great distribution potential. Before Access, DuBow served at Lighting Entertainment as Executive Vice President and also at First Look Studios for worldwide distribution. He was also involved in buying and selling film libraries at The Modern Times Group.
He successfully sold Modern Entertainment’s hundreds of title libraries to LionsGate Entertainment, including Dirty Dancing and Halloween films. For more than 40 years, he has held executive positions with MGM/UA, Disney, and Pandora Films in international film and TV program sales.
Distribution Options Available for Filmmakers
a) Reach Out to Film Distributors
When making a film, you must be clear about who your target audience is. I aimed to work with someone who has sold similar projects and luckily, I met Ken DuBow who worked in the same genre, audience, and language. He assists in taking any project from development to global sales in theatrical, television, and streaming.
b) Work with Sales Agent
A sales agent can help you find distributors and sell your film with a good profit margin. You can even find a sales agent in pre-production and by networking at film festivals and film markets. I was introduced to Ken DuBow by Access Entertainment and it was wonderful working with him.
c) Pre-Sale Distribution
Pre-sale distribution is an assurance from a distribution company that they will represent your film once the project is done. Distribution companies often approve the film if they like the script, genre, or previous work of the filmmaker. Keep in mind, your target audience will determine the ideal distribution strategy, and always aim to build your audience through social media.
d) Film Festivals
A film festival allows you to showcase your film to a primary audience, win awards, and secure distribution. Distributors attend small festivals if they are seeking a specific genre, such as documentary and animation. A good sales agent has strong relationships with festivals, distributors, and markets, which in turn increases your chances of getting noticed and distribution potential.
Conclusion
There are several methods you can use to market your film or TV production in the market. Ideally, you should plan a solid film distribution strategy and when your film is complete, you can enter film festivals, hire a sales agent, and earn profit.
I am extremely grateful to Ken DuBow for helping me understand the process of film distribution so that my projects enjoy raging success, both for the audience and profitability.
