The Director of Sales and Acquisitions for The Film Sales Company, Carylanna Taylor, will answer questions about the ins-and-outs of Film Sales, Distribution and Financing.


There will be an audience Q&A where you can ask Carylanna your questions about film sales!


During this event, we'll cover topics like:

  • How to sell your film if you don't have connections

  • What types of distribution deals exist

  • Where distributors find films and how you can connect with them

  • How to position your film for sales and distribution if you don't have name stars attached

  • How films get financed

  • What first-time directors need to know

  • How film festivals play a part in sales

  • How the film market has changed over the last few years

  • How to best position yourself to sell your film before starting production

  • How to create a film festival and marketing strategy that will help sales and distribution — before you even make your film

  • And more!
