The Most Powerful & Effective Course For Achieving GOOD Film Distribution Today
You've taken a Herculean journey and made a movie. Congratulations! Or you're about to embark on this journey. What do you do to ensure the "final stage" of this endeavor, achieving good distribution for your film? Not just any distribution, but the BEST possible?
The Problems of Film Distribution
Let's be blunt here, shall we? The majority of independent filmmakers & producers today continue to struggle with distribution. Doesn't matter if you made a feature film or a documentary. Many of you are settling for crappy internet distribution today, where the sales are often dismal because:
1. The platforms your movie is on, quite frankly, suck; and/or
2. Your distributor is doing NO marketing for you; and/or
3. You made a deal with a producer rep or a bad distributor and you aren't seeing a dime.
Sound familiar??
And here are a few other problems for too many Producers & Directors:
4. A lack of understanding about the marketplace for movies & documentaries today;
5. A lack of knowledge about accessing each of the major markets (Theatrical - DVD/Blu-ray - Cable/Satellite/Telco VOD - Internet VOD - Television - Foreign Distribution);
6. Listening to friends or colleagues who don't really understand the distribution landscape today but think they do -- and offer bad advice;
7. Placing trust in a producer rep, who charges you a $10,000 or $15,000 fee upfront to help you, but then doesn't -- or does a bad job -- and now you're broke and cynical;
8. Not understanding how to stand out from the crowd of 5,000+ movies being made every year.
And I could go on. But you get the picture, and undoubtedly have experienced some of these issues. Or will if this is your first time out. But you don't have to...
The Solution to Film Distribution
The solution to these problems? If I could wave a magic wand and impart what I know to you -- so that you can have truly successful outcomes with your movies and documentaries -- and have better results with revenues -- I would. And I actually can, with my course, "THE SECRETS TO DISTRIBUTION: Get Your Movie Distributed Now!"
"THE SECRETS TO DISTRIBUTION" is an extremely powerful, hands-on, 3-Day Program that teaches you everything you need -- the strategies, the ins & outs -- and yes, the countless secrets that many veteran producers know but won't share.
It's quite simple: The design of this 3-Day course is to help you achieve successful distribution, AND generate sales & revenues in ALL the markets possible. NOT just VOD and Internet VOD. Yes, everyone talks about VOD today, but the amount of money that transactional VOD generates (meaning, individual purchases of viewings) is small in comparison to the other markets for your movie. The most successful independent movies today are utilizing ALL the available markets for their movies, not just VOD.
And there are concrete, specific and proven strategies to attain meaningful distribution in all of the major markets.
Volume 1
Taught by Producer & Distribution Expert Jerome Courshon, you can reach your final goal and attain good, successful distribution
"I can't say enough about Jerome's Program! It's fun, sincere, candid and informed. You can't put a price on the information he teaches -- but avoiding the pitfalls of distribution could save you north of $50,000!"
-- Kerry David, Producer of 7 Movies including
"Agent Cody Banks," "My Date With Drew,"
"Like Dandelion Dust"
This 3-Day Program contains Jerome's full 2-Day Master Class, plus an additional day of material, all on 9 DVDs. This is 18 Hours of Vital Information & Proven Strategies giving you the tools to achieve this success. The Program also comes with 3 Workbooks containing 300 pages of resources, case studies, and crucial, proprietary Distributor Contact Lists that you will NOT find anywhere else.
[Note: As this Program is continuously updated, you will receive all updates for 1 year at no charge.]
Volume 2
"Incredible Program. Never before has a film producer put together a step-by-step approach to navigating the world of distribution. Taking this course is a MUST for any producer or director who's serious about having success. To not understand the marketplace and how to work it, is financial suicide for your movie. Don't do that. Don't be one of those filmmakers who think they know everything. Get this phenomenal 'Secrets To Distribution' Program, understand what you need to do to have success, then do it!"
-- Darin Scott, Producer of 9 Movies including
"Menace II Society," "Tales from the Hood,"
"To Sleep With Anger," "Love and a .45"
"Since the class I attended, I've sold 2 films to Lionsgate and I have a 3rd that I'm shooting for them. Everything Jerome says -- as much as I fought it initially -- is right on!"
-- Bobby Leigh, Producer/Director,
"Unraveled," "Experiment In Torture"
"GREAT Program! What makes Jerome's material so powerful is his personal experiences in the trenches. He fills a gap in most filmmakers' education and provides a roadmap for the often murky and ever-changing world of distribution. His Program is important, valuable, and one that filmmakers of all levels can benefit from in getting their movies out there."
-- Doug Atchison, Director/Writer,
"Akeelah and the Bee"
Volume 3
Material covered in this comprehensive and advanced Program includes:
| • | Theatrical Distribution |
| What to do and not do with theatrical distributors; Most filmmakers fail here, even when they have an excellent movie. |
| • | Service Deal Distribution |
| What this is, how it works, and why some prominent Producers & Directors utilize it. |
| • | DIY Theatrical Distribution |
| How to get your movie into theaters yourself and launch a theatrical run. And I'm not talking about Tugg (which is an option), but full weeklong runs. |
| • | The 8 Fundamental Models |
| ...of getting your movie into the revenue stream to maximize earnings. |
| • | Home Video Distribution |
| DVD & Blu-ray is still alive and can be profitable. Last year DVD Distribution (& Blu-ray) was an $8 Billion market. Most filmmakers don't realize this. It is still a large revenue generating market. Which doesn't mean getting into this market is easy for the indie producer today, but there are still dozens of active DVD Distributors. Contact list included. |
| • | VOD / PPV / Cable Distribution |
| VOD is all the rage these days, but how can you actually generate significant revenues here? You'd be surprised at the solution. |
| • | Foreign Distribution |
| How to get your film sold internationally. How to approach and gain interest from a foreign sales company to handle your movie. How to qualify the right company and avoid the crooks. |
| • | Digital / Internet Distribution |
| How to make the most of this worldwide market. Where to go, what to do, and the best digital platforms to currently be on. (99% of filmmakers do not understand the shifts that have occurred within the past 3 years with online distribution, and are still wondering why they're seeing little money on most platforms their films are sitting on. Learn what you need to be doing TODAY.) |
| • | DIY Distribution |
| Making your own DVDs and/or Blu-rays and successfully selling them into the marketplace yourself. This has the highest profit margin, and some producers do this very successfully. |
| • | Film Festivals |
| Are they worth your time & energy? How to generate Buzz, Press & Awards. How to effectively use festivals to attain distribution. |
| • | Key Art / Taglines / Press Kits |
| Is your poster artwork & press kit REALLY up to snuff? Or are you sending out inferior materials with your film, causing distributors to say 'No' before even watching it? (This happens all the time.) And if you're saying to yourself, "Press kit? What do I need that for??" -- then you are making a huge tactical mistake. |
| • | Deals & Contracts |
| How to contractually protect yourself when making deals with distributors. This is -- unfortunately -- where too many filmmakers drop the ball. Seriously drop the ball. |
"Without Jerome's information and resources, I'd never have gotten distribution through Warner Bros. for my 'no name' feature. Not in a million years!"-- Vince Rocca, Producer, "Kisses & Caroms,"
"The Ghostmaker"

From the Publisher of MovieMaker Magazine:
"As we often say at our magazine, being a successful independent filmmaker is often more about mastering the business side of this industry than the artistic side. With a clear eye, straightforwardness, humor -- and the all-credible voice of personal experience -- Jerome Courshon breaks down the distribution process in a comprehensive, step-by-step Program that's tailored to the filmmaker seeking distribution in today's complex, fast-changing marketplace.
Distribution is the most difficult phase of the filmmaking process, but it's also the one that's most critical for an independent producer to personally understand. I've been publishing MovieMaker Magazine for over 20 years, and until Jerome, there wasn't any other instructor or producer who walked you through this process in a way that could dramatically improve your chances of actually making money. Perhaps it can be said that your moviemaking journey is as unique as your film itself, and it's possible that even with all the information in Jerome's 'Secrets To Distribution' Program, you may not hit a homerun. But I do know this: You absolutely won't reach your distribution goals without it."
-- Timothy Rhys, Publisher & Editor-in-Chief, MovieMaker Magazine
Whether you have a completed movie -- or have yet to begin production -- this is the definitive course on getting your movie into distribution. Most longtime veteran Producers (and Distributors) who know this information will NOT share it with you. But I do.
To sum up, if you need good, viable distribution, these are your basic choices:
A) Figure out what to do on your own. This will take at least a year (minimum), and I hate to say it, but you will make mistakes and likely hit a "landmine" or two. And your movie will suffer. For some of you, badly.
B) Hire a producer rep. Most will charge you anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 as an upfront fee. (This is besides the percentage of your film they take.) And most of you will end up unhappy, with poor or no results.
C) Hire a distribution consultant to educate you on what you need to do. He/she will charge you anywhere from $300 - $750 per hour. At this rate, to learn what's in my 18 Hour Program would cost you between $5,400 and $13,500.
D) Get my 3-Day Program for a fraction of these costs. The tuition for this 18 Hour Program of 9 DVDs + 3 Workbooks is just $600.00. (See Below)
Bottom line? This course is about getting real results and making money with your film. Whether you want a distributor to handle your movie, OR you want to use the Internet and DIY methods to handle it yourself, this is the Program to achieve real results. It is possibly the most important course you could EVER take for your film career.
"Wow! It's about time someone created a road map for this crazy complicated world of movie distribution. As film producers we need to know how to distribute our own films. It's not just about producing them anymore. What's the point if no one goes to see it? Finally, with Jerome's 3-Day 'Distribution School' DVD Series, we not only have the knowledge to distribute our films, but we get to make money doing it! It doesn't get any better than this!"
-- Suzanne Lyons, Producer of 10 Movies
including "Undertaking Betty,"
"The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things"

"One of the dark secrets in the movie biz is that it feeds on ignorance. 'They' don't really want you to know, no matter what 'they' say. It's the reason most filmmakers never make a second movie -- they get so burned on the first one that it finishes them off. A filmmaker's simple investment in this Program changes that dramatically.
Jerome has created a course that cuts through the crap and delivers a distilled education in film distribution that is more complete, thorough and accurate than anything I've ever seen. Buy this and save yourself the money and agony of 20 other books & videos -- or more importantly, the lost opportunities for your film and/or bad distribution deals. This Program is as important an investment in filmmaking as a camera or editing system -- it's that good!"
-- Stefan Avalos, Producer/Director,
"The Last Broadcast," "The Ghosts of Edendale," "The Game"
