Film Producer & Distribution Expert Jerome Courshon knows the 'game' of distribution as a Producer in the trenches. From his film festival journeys to self-releasing his first movie into theaters (God, Sex & Apple Pie) to securing distribution with Warner Bros., Courshon has faced innumerable obstacles. And it's this real world "what works, what doesn't" approach that he is able to share with fellow filmmakers to help them attain success. For over the past 5 years, Courshon has assisted hundreds of Producers & Directors with achieving real distribution through his classes, speaking engagements and consultations.

The simple truth is this: While the so-called 3rd battle of moviemaking is getting distribution -- generally considered the hardest battle to wage -- it is not as difficult when you really know what to do. Initially, Courshon was like most other veteran producers who have learned the insider-knowledge of successful distribution: "Don't share it with anyone!" However, after the persistent urging & badgering by colleagues to share this closely-held knowledge with other Producers & Directors, "THE SECRETS TO DISTRIBUTION: Get Your Movie Distributed Now!" was born.


Courshon first began presenting a very short version of his class in the fall of 2006. In 2007 it had become a comprehensive 1-Day event, and by 2009 it expanded again to a 2-Day event, to cover traditional distribution and DIY in even further depth. ("DIY" means "Do It Yourself," and this includes the developing & ongoing non-traditional options for filmmakers. For example, you can have your own VOD player/interfacing on your Facebook page and charge others to watch your content -- yet many filmmakers are unaware of this.)

Courshon has written primers and articles on distribution for MovieMaker Magazine, Indie Slate Magazine, Film Festival Today and many other film publications. You can view some of his latest articles here.

On the creative front, Courshon (God, Sex & Apple Pie; Life With Fiona) just produced 6 national commercials for Vehix.com (4 are airing on television currently), and is in development on his next movie.
