3rd Symposium 2006

Getting It Out There

A Reality Check on Distribution

How important is "the Distributor"? Someone to be engaged early in the production process? An afterthought? Or not even in the picture? This OTS explored the machinations of producer/distributor relationships. The audience learned how to navigate the extensive landscape of sales agents and distributors, and how to negotiate a realistic distribution deal. They were introduced to the pioneers of digital distribution and discovered new avenues for releasing their programmes into the world.
