How to Approach Movie Distributors at Film Markets - Maximize Your Chances of Success!

In this video, Tom Malloy shares essential tips for filmmakers looking to get the attention of movie distributors and popular film markets like AFM, EFM, and Cannes.

One of the biggest challenges at these events is knowing how to approach distributors and sales agents and which companies to target. Many filmmakers make the mistake of pitching their films to every distributor they meet without doing any research first.

By researching each distributor and focusing on those who specialize in your film's genre or niche, you'll significantly increase your chances of finding a distributor or sales agent interested in meeting you and negotiating a deal for your movie. For example, if you have a horror film, you should target distributors with a proven track record of success in dealing with horror films.

Before attending any film market, research distributors specializing in your film's genre and look at their past sales and reviews from other filmmakers to ensure they're a good fit for your movie.

Remember, research is critical, and finding the right distributor can make all the difference in the success of your film.
