As many filmmakers out there can tell you, the distribution process can be a very rough road. Stacey Parks, founder of Film Specific and author of The Insider's Guide to Independent Film Distribution (Focal Press 2007) spent years as a sales agent, and knows the worldwide marketplace, and the major players, inside and out. Having been responsible for finding distribution for hundreds of independently produced films, Stacey has unique insight into what some of the most successful filmmakers are doing right. Just as importantly, she sees the mistakes some filmmakers are making which are preventing them from being more successful.
Parks will appear on BlogTalkRadio’s show "Inside Urban Hollywood" (http://blogtalkradio.com/insideurbanhollywood) with host Tanya Kersey on Monday, April 21, 2008, at 8pm PST/11pm EST, to discuss strategies for getting distribution for your films -- whether it's traditional distribution, alternative distribution or both -- and making a profit. Parks will also talk about resources and opportunities for filmmakers to get their foot in the door and propel their careers in a very demanding and unforgiving independent film marketplace.
