Portland Film Festival

What happens after you’ve completed your film? Will you submit your film to festivals in hopes that it will be discovered? Don’t fall victim to the American Idol Syndrome, where you dream of someone anointing you the next film auteur. When there is no magical producer or distribution company clamoring for your film, you will need a distribution plan. Some call it Do-It-Yourself (DIY), or self-distribution, or even direct distribution … either way you’re in luck! This unique workshop will give you a “realistic” DIY distribution plan that will clear your mind of the clutter, so you can get back to making your films and taking control of your filmmaking career. This workshop is presented by Scott McMahon, Founder of FILM TROOPER, a web resource that helps filmmakers become entrepreneurs.
