On Being Published....

Well gang, it's official. I'm a published author now!

My "Inside Guide To Independent Film Distribution" (Focal Press)
is out on the shelves and I've even sold a few units I'm told.
Ha!

So get it while it's hot, (and cheap) on Amazon. I'll put the
link at the bottom b/c it's too long to insert here.

And if you've already purchased my Insiders Guide To Film
Distribution eBook, and you're wondering if this is the same
thing...the answer is NO. Actually, some of the material is the
same, but the publishers actually made me TRIPLE the content
(the cause of many sleepless nights!) so you'll find LOADS
more information, interviews, and case studies - plus charts,
sample contracts, lists of distributors, etc.

You really can't go wrong for $16.47!!

In other news, we had a phenomenal teleconference call on
Monday with Tom Eplin and Kurt Anderson, filmmakers who set
up their own booth at MIPTV in Cannes in a few weeks ago.
Their biggest piece of advice for filmmakers wanting to go
to a film market (Cannes and AFM included)? Start with
a participants badge rather than making the plunge to buying
an entire booth.

Anyway, you can hear it all on Film Specific, where both
teleconferences (the one with Eric Stein too) are posted as
MP3 in our Members Resources section.

And we have a THIRD teleconference coming today with
Tim Sparke of Mercury Media, a UK based Documentary sales
outfit, at 10:30 PST. What he has to say about selling indies
applies to both documentaries and features, so I wouldn't
miss this call. He's also going to tell everyone about a new
service he has that he's accepting submissions for.

To register for that call, and listen to the others, plus
get in on all the rest, go to http://www.FilmSpecific.com and

Alright - hope everyone has a great day! Here's the Amazon link
to get the bargain of the century!
