Indie Theaters And Their Role In Movie Distribution

By Karyn Shields


Being in the business of filmmaking requires not just big bucks and talent. It has always been an essential part of any pursuit to have bottomless patience; and therefore, one should be certain whether he has it or not before even attempting on an enterprise. If not, he might end up suffering from serious personal bankruptcy after giving it up owing to his fear and impatience. It takes a long wait to see the fruits of labor and courage to run a risk.

Shooting a film needs a proper choice of talent and proper production. And albeit excellent hands on training, one still needs an impressive connection in the industry especially if he is producing independent flicks. Sure, there are plenty of indie theaters Los Angeles, but it does not necessarily guarantee independent filmmakers to have a good shot to any one, especially if the movie seems not to fit potential audience.

Individuals who look for a great movie experience may never be satisfied easily with mere productions by which the fame and reputation of an actor in character remains insignificant. For some reason, filmmakers need to do a very fastidious research in conjunction with the kind of movie that can really get the public's interest. Plus, the collaborative effort of producers and theaters should contribute much to the success of the distribution.

Filmmakers in search for the right cinemas ought to consider not just the ones that have obtained the highest rates from moviegoers. It is not a good idea to underestimate the newly established ones. They might be the ones that can actually bring fame to the flick. In Los Angeles, most independent theaters are just few steps away. But of course, there are certain aspects filmmakers should take note while still struggling in the industry.

It is necessary to know that distributors are generally interested in selling movies simply because of the good profit they might be able to get at the end of the day, not in developing talent. Money is a primary motivator of many people but knowing how distributors can help market films is enough for them to be grateful about. And besides, nurturing talents is rather personal.

If the film is not marketable, it might be stuck in the stockroom forever, and will never ever be known even that filmmakers' attempt of marketing it by themselves. And that goes to show how much it means to impress distributors right there and then.

Nonetheless, it might smart to market flicks without going through traditional distribution platforms. Today more than ever, the Internet has become very helpful in marketing products without paying that much. Moviemakers may browse up good sites where films can be publicized inexpensively. Here, they can make good money easily as well as increase the number of audience without going anywhere.

Theatrical distribution will only get moviemakers to have decent share of profit generated in a week's or month's time. This is never disadvantageous unless the flick itself is not generating any money.

A good indie theater, however, makes sure that all of its clients are served at the best way possible. I will never let any moviemakers down unless they, themselves, do not exert effort in their own enterprise.
