About This Course

Join over 25,000 students learning from our courses. Got a completed film. Have no idea how to sell it.

How do I get my film to distributors. If you're looking for a standard Hollywood distribution deal, and are based in America, then the best place for you to go is The American Film Market®. But the market has it's own culture that can be overwhelming and difficult to understand.

Luckily, Producer's Rep Ben Yennie and Author of the First ever book on film markets has your back. Ben's Book, "The Guerrilla Rep: American Film Market® Distribution Success on No Budget" is used as a textbook at more than 10 film schools, and is available at bookstores everywhere. But more than that, he's repped films ranging from $100,000 dollars to $1 million dollars and he understands what to look for in a deal.
