Because we don’t personally know Harvey Weinstein

Your magnum opus is in the can, but now what? Will your breakthrough film ever see the light of a projection bulb, or will is sadly succumb to the fate of so many indie films, tossed aside like an amateur home video of your sister doing that silly flaming hula hoop trick? Well, we encourage you to rage against the dying of the light!

Tomorrow, the SouthWest Alternate Media Project (SWAMP) presents Distribution for Independent Film, a one day workshop for people just like you, led by Mark Steven Bosko. Bosko has more than 14 years of experience working as a distribution representative and will teach you how to master the art of securing distribution, finding alternative routes to audiences and selling your work.

Bosko will also kindly review your planned, in-progress or finished films, just be sure to bring a screening copy or description of your project. This is a great opportunity to get real-world street-savvy advice from someone whose distribution work has helped several independent features achieve cult classic status.

One catch: SWAMP is located in Houston, but look at it this way: the three hour drive will give you and your fellow filmmakers plenty of time to formulate your next big cinematic treasure. Just tell the gas station attendant to fill ‘er up.
