The workshop synopsis:
Guerilla Marketing and Self Distribution of Your Film—Independent filmmaking is alive and well, it's independent distribution that is dead. At a time when independent films have to have a star and at least a couple million-dollar budgets, how do you get your films seen? Kelley Baker walks you though different ways to get an audience to turn out for your screenings. He challenges you to assess the real market for your film and provides examples of other filmmakers getting their distributed.
