Distribution : Who's SELF-distributed lately? by Fran Harris

Who's SELF-distributed lately?

So, I'm about to release a sports documentary, A LEAGUE OF OUR OWN, in June. Anyone here done this? What exactly did you do? How did you do it? Hosted on your own website? FilmHub? Other?

Hello! For digital downloads/streaming we started by hosting on our own website and then submitted the titles to streaming services (be prepared for a long to-do list, most have a lot of requirements). For physical copies we make our DVDs/Blu-Rays in house and then ship to a few dozen privately owned retailers in the US. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions :)

On May 16, 2023 I launched my feature film "American Girl" via FilmHub. It's available now on Amazon Prime. We are using social media to promote the film. More platforms to follow. I'll share info about the journey!

Everything is about marketing and finding the audience. Go where they go. And the distribution tips in the previous comments, and probably more to come, are worth following up. Creative out-of-box thinking also can find success.
