Designed with independent and DIY filmmakers in mind, this session breaks down the real-world pathways to getting your film seen. We’ll explore platforms like FilmHub, examining their advantages, limitations, and how they compare to traditional distribution routes. Attendees will gain clarity on distribution percentages, revenue splits, and what those numbers actually mean for your bottom line.
