The size of the potential market is huge, so a DIY filmmaker either has to create a distro co/hire employees capable of handling thousands of stores or has to spend a looong time taking care of all the dvd distro stuff by self. I think your approach is a wise one, not tying up all your time w/ the distro & still keeping the rights to the flick. Since your partner co for the DVD has already built the infrastructure for getting the DVDs out nationwide, working with them sounds like an excellent way to go. <BR/><BR/>I will be buying your book next year :)<BR/><BR/>Good luck w/ the upcoming release.<BR/><BR/>- SujewaSujewa [Blog Admin]https://www.blogger.com/profile/16148552077500713000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22260589.post-1153424150482136282006-07-20T12:35:00.000-07:002006-07-20T12:35:00.000-07:00I'm doing a hybrid model.

After running my own label I wanted to find a partner that I could do the release with. Last time I spent 2 much time on mangement. So this time I struck a deal with a small label that helps me reach retail and rental BUT allows me to hold all rights. Plus I was able to create an amazing deal - I levearged the theatrical release to help get me the best terms possible. I carved away all digital rights, VOD, Theatrical, even the rights to sell DVD's over my sites and I get the DVD's for a little over cost and can sell them myself.<BR/><BR/>In the end it is a great way to join forces and to get certain backend management taken care of.<BR/><BR/>I'm currently writing a book about distro and new models. I'll detail everything in it. It will be released early next year.<BR/><BR/>Talk to you soon,<BR/>Llwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131424027686127507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22260589.post-1153382011264861192006-07-20T00:53:00.000-07:002006-07-20T00:53:00.000-07:00Congrats on all the latest developments lw.DVD hit...Congrats on all the latest developments lw.<BR/><BR/>DVD hitting stores nationwide is an epic achievement.
