Creating a film is an incredible achievement. But it means nothing if no one watches it. Sadly, this is often the case for many of us young filmmakers our films end up collecting dust after the production phase simply because we didn’t plan our distribution well. In fact, film distribution is a crucial bridge. It’s not just the producer or director who feels proud; the entire crew finally sees that their hard work has paid off when the film reaches an audience.
