Okay, I am disappointed. Again.  This is 2013.  It’s not what I thought the future would look like. Don’t get me started, but I did think things would be better for us, and  certainly in the Direct Distribution world.  I thought we knew that we were all in this together.  I thought we knew that if we shared information it would lift us all up higher.  That is why I created this blog after all.  But of course if knowledge and information changed behavior, no one would smoke, eat refined sugar, or have unprotected sex. But I digress… I went looking for all the Distribution Case Studies I could find, and have compiled them for you.

Blue Potato — Knowing the Film Market

By Kavita Pullapilly 
 
Following a successful and well-curated Sundance Film Festival, this is shaping up to be a great year for independent films. But in order to be financially viable, significant planning and business strategies need to happen in script development and pre-production to make indie films appealing to the global market. 
 
Last year, award-winning filmmakers Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly worked with a team from Harvard Business School to develop an innovative strategy for independent filmmakers and studios to work together successfully.  With their new feature film, Blue Potato, Aron and Gita have now begun implementing this road map that will allow both the filmmaker and distribution partner to limit their risk, increase audience reach, and maximize potential profitability.
