Got a completed film?  Have no idea how to sell it? How do I get my film to distributors?  If you’re looking for a standard Hollywood distribution deal, and are based in America, then the best place for you to go is The American Film Market®.  But the market has it’s own culture that can be overwhelming and difficult to understand.  Luckily, Producer’s Rep Ben Yennie and Author of the First ever book on film markets has your back.    

Ben’s Book, "The Guerrilla Rep: American Film Market® Distribution Success on No Budget" is used as a textbook at more than 10 film schools, and is available at bookstores everywhere.  But more than that, he’s repped films ranging from $100,000 dollars to $1 million dollars and he understands what to look for in a deal.

What people are saying about our courses: 

"By far, the best director and cinematography course on the Internet." - Nate Carroll

"I really enjoyed taking this class. It wasn't just that the subject was interesting to me, but the teacher also made the class intriguing. I would gladly recommend this class to anyone who would be interested." - Leah Ames

Very helpful. Adds depth to your understanding and intuitive insights which you surely had if you happened to play with video shooting and editing without doing any learning beforehand. It's enriching. The movie samples are great as the clarify the points. Love it! - Yosi Tsitsu

No matter how you plan to distribute your film, the relationships you foster are key to finding success. If you're self-distributing, those relationships are the ones you foster through social media and your local communities. If like many filmmakers, you're looking for more traditional distribution then you'll need relationships with distributors and sales agents. If you're an American or International Filmmaker, the best place to foster those relationships is at The American Film Market®.

But AFM® (American Film Market®) is somewhat Mercurial and hard to understand without a veteran guiding you. That's why is happy to bring you a workshop on how to use AFM® to establish relationships with distributors.
