This article broke down how to distribute your film into 2 basic strategies. The author understood that not everyone has the money to get their films all around like one may want so he made it easy for the reader. One common way was at film festivals. It’s a great way to get your movie out there and seen by the masses which I thought was a helpful and great idea for starting off or aspiring filmmakers. Then there was selling your movie to streaming platforms. That to me was the most obvious one. There are so many ways people can watch movies now, I just assumed that places like Netflix or Hulu are very common go to movie distributors. However, not everyone can have this opportunity because their film may not fit a big companies standard. They suggested you should make connections and get noticed is the best way to get bigger.

“Distribution.” Distribution | Terror Films, www.terrorfilms.net/distribution. 

I chose this website because it was a common horror movie distributor. The provided a list of platforms they did business with and a few of the options on the list were well known companies. Not only that but this distributor was an easily accessible company where getting your movie distributed is not out of reach. Which I thought would be helpful for my partner and I if getting our film out there really was something we wanted to do.
