By evaluating thousands of projects, I learned how to release and market them most effectively and successfully.By now my own films have been screened at over 800 festivals worldwide, won numerous awards, and usually sold for a profit.In this book, I'll share with you all the insights I've gathered over the years.

Book excerpt: This thesis examines the short film industry and how it is adapting to new online viewing platforms. It first aims to answer why short filmmakers create short films when they perform in the marketplace as an economically irrational investment. It finds several conclusions including gaining experience, funding a feature film, exploring a new genre, and escaping Hollywood pressures. After concluding why short films are made, this paper studies what the current model for short film distribution is - the film festival - observing a current oversaturation within the festival market, as well as the struggles to be noticed in a festival as a short filmmaker. Alternatively this thesis examines a new form of distribution for short filmmakers: online distribution. It explores what online distribution looks like for a short filmmaker in terms of financial earnings and audience availability. Additionally it closely studies two major players in the online video industry: YouTube and Vimeo. This thesis concludes with a comparison of festival distribution versus online distribution, as well as recommendations for future research in the short film industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone can make a short film, right? Just grab some friends and your handheld and you can do it in a weekend or two before being accepted to a slew of film festivals, right? Wrong. Roberta Munroe screened short film submissions at Sundance for five years, and is an award-winning short filmmaker in her own right. So she knows a thing or two about how not to make a short film. From the first draft of your script to casting, production, editing, and distribution, this is your one-stop primer for breaking into the business. Featuring interviews with many of today's most talented writers, producers, and directors, as well as revealing stories (e.g., what to do when the skinhead crack addict next door begins screaming obscenities as soon as you call "action") from the sets of her own short films, Roberta walks you through the minefield of mistakes that an aspiring filmmaker can make--so that you don't have to make them yourself.
