Questions:
When is the ideal time for a
film’s marketability to be assessed by a distributor?
When a non commissioned film
which does not have a distributing deal, sends in a copy of the film for a
distributing deal, the distributors will assess then how marketable the film is
as a business proposition.
When is the ideal time for a
distribution deal to be in place?
Most big films will have a
distribution deal in place before filming or even a script has been produced.
However this ideal time is only in place if the director has a good
relationship with the distributors or a concept has been sold to a distributor.
