IFH 166: Independent Film Distribution & Marketing Blueprint with This is Meg

Independent Film Distribution & Marketing Blueprint

Over the past 6 months or so I’ve been getting an enormous amount of emails and messages asking me the same question:

What is your distribution and marketing plan for This is Meg?

I hear you IFH Tribe, so I decided to put this podcast together and layout the marketing and distribution blueprint I created to get This is Meg out into the world. You can’t be a Filmtrepreneur without one of those.

In this episode, I break down:

• Why I didn’t go through a traditional distributor
• Why I didn’t do a theatrical run through TUGG
• How I will be self-distributing This is Meg
• What platforms I’ll be selling on and why
• What my marketing strategy is

This is Meg has been a giant experiment to see what happens and I wanted to share the ride with you, the IFH Tribe. Thank you for all the support. Take a listen and keep on hustlin’.
