Reviews
Well written, concise and (most importantly) honest! A must-have for indie filmmakers. --Kate Pearson, SVP, Programming, The Documentary Channel Finally, a contemporary and practical book about film distribution that explores this often mysterious and misunderstood part of the industry. As an academic text the approach is both classroom and reader friendly, providing information not easily found elsewhere. --Sharon Badal Faculty, New York University Tisch School of the Arts Kanbar Institute of Film and Television The book is well worth a read especially for those filmmakers who take the business of filmmaking seriously. - Karen van Schalkwyk, SCREEN AFRICA Being a fairly light read that broaches a very broad topic, The Insider's Guide to Film Distribution serves as a great navigational tool to guide newcomers through the many pitfalls of a complex and, oftentimes, duplicitous industry. However, while publisher, Focal Press, does offer some great extra material at the book's official website, those who are serious about marketing and distributing their film may want to supplement this book with some of the more detailed tomes on the subject as Parks can only cover so much over the course of 154 pages. Still, for a quick and concise primer on the ins and outs of the distro business, The Insider's Guide to Film Distribution has no equal. Definitely well worth adding to your library! --Horrorview.com
