How to write a letter to film distributors?
I need to contact film distributors regarding our film, and I was wondering what you should write in the letter/info pack? Thank you
Moon A
Question answered by The King
What you are looking to write is called a query letter. In that letter you are going to include a short, three paragraph synopsis of your film. But how you construct that letter is very, very, important. You are going to want to include a hook. Maybe a question, or bold question in the beginning. Then you write the synopsis, and close with a brief paragraph about you. Examples of query letters are plentiful and everywhere, but the ones that stand out are always well written.What are the best websites/agencies to find a job in the film industry in Vancouver?

Line: Film distributors will benefit if there are substantial reductions in the costs of duplicating film prints and transporting them to cinemas.

Question answered by The Defenestrator
It means if there are less prints to be sent, like if they have a digital copy of the film, then the distributor will save money with transportation costs, overseas charges etc.What was the main trailer attached to 1995's Mortal Kombat in the cinemas?
Major film distributors usually distribute one trailer before a film and on the same reel as the film. What trailer or trailers appeared with Mortal Kombat and what other films did Mortal Kombat appear as trailers for other films?

Question answered by Sarah
My first stop would be wikipedia or google for a quick reference. I actually had a similar question not even 5 days ago, but I couldn't find the answer. If it's possible, try getting help from someone with more knowledge/experience/expertise, like a professional if it's possible. This can be pretty important. I saw a forum with this online, but I didn't have time to read it all. Try checking it out. I want to help out more, but I'm not 100% sure about the answer. Sorry I'm not much help. I hope you found your answer! Good luckHow much will indie film pay for my film?

indiefilms.com is a very good source for feedback, ideas and help for any film project. If you uploaded your film, or part of it, there you'd get insight from the other members on what to do next, what to change [if you need to] and what they like about your film. They'll tell you the strengths and weaknessess of your project, and advise you on where to go next and who to approach. Approaching a film distributor straight off the bat would be a difficult thing to do, but better in the long run if you did actually get a deal. Many distributors like that will avoid indie films, especially first time ones, unless you find a company that specialises in films like yours. You'd need a very good pitch with all the information they'd need and why you feel they're the company you should use. With regards to money, it all depends on whether the company believes the film you have made can sell - they probably don't have a standard rate they spend on indie films, and look at each film individually before making a choice. Indiefilms.com don't pay for your videos.How to distribute my film to cinema?

One way to get started is to make contacts in the Film Festival circuit. You may also find help in from your state film commission. Below is a website that links you to most Film FestivalsWhy do film distributors limit the number of copies available?
I frequently notice that films I want to see are only being shown at a limited number of cinemas. My local cinema usually tells me that the distributors only released a few copies. Why would the distributors only release a small number?

Question answered by Mitchell
It is simple marketing and cost analysis. It is very costly to distribute films. There are shipping costs, legal costs, the cost of making copies of the film and most important distributors generally have to insure that the film is properly advertised in whatever market it is being shown. This requires a lot of upfront money. Films that are limited are films that the distributors do not see as having the large draw that mainstream movies have. Distributors make their money by getting a portion of the ticket sales from the individual theaters. So lets imagine a film that will not have a very large audience. Say that it is expected that in a given market 10 people will show up per theater to see this film. If the distributor prints 5 copies and have them shown at 5 theaters the cost is much higher than if they print only 1 copy in that market and have 50 people show up at a single theater. That is why films are limited. Also the areas selected are carefully researched. Limited release films are released in areas that have shown to be the most likely place for the film to make money. The hope is that in those limited release areas the film gets good reviews and a lot of "buzz" so to speak which then increases the demand for the film and thus a wider release. Bottom line is that the one thing above all else a distributor cares about is people per theater. They want that number to be as high as possible. If that means only 1 or 2 theaters per major market then that is what they will do. Edit: It has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with "increase demand...increase prices". Take any movie. Any movie ever shown in the history of movies and you will find that the price for a movie ticket does not increase simply because there is a greater demand to see a movie. Additionally if there is an increase in demand for a film the actual price per theater goes down not up. The only way for distributors and theaters to make money is for people to show up and if lots and lots of people show up they don't increase prices they simply offer more and more chances to see the film.Would I have to pay movie royalties?
I was hoping on raising money for a charity and charging 5 dollars to play a movie preferably Slumdog Millionare. Would I have to pay royalties to the film distributor to play the movie? All the proceeds are going to charity do you think they will have a problem with this? Also if I cant play this movie is there any movies out there that don't require royalties that involve children in poverty?

Question answered by silverscreenphile
I don't know about royalties, per se, but you would have to pay a fee of some sort. And if you decide to "forget" to contact them, and then they find out that you charged people to view their movie, they will sue and they will win. Off-hand, I can't think of any out-of-copyright (that's what you are looking for as far as no royalties goes) movies about children in poverty though the title "Oliver Twist" comes to mind. Try http://www.archive.org - they store online copies of movies that are out-of-copyright. Those should be safe, but even then it wouldn't hurt to contact a lawyer (preferably an entertainment or copyright lawyer) and make sure.What is the Law on showing a film in a pub?
Hi, I run a pub and want to run a regular movie night. I have the exhibition of film on my premise licence, what if any other licences do I need to run the night legally? I will be showing my own personal films or buying them to watch.

Question answered by Filebuster
Beyond the premises, it's all about each film. No DVD / BluRay can be shown anywhere apart from at home for immediate friends. You need to speak to a film distributor. You can't go to the shops for a disc. University film clubs may know details - ask your local film club.Have you ever wondered what movie titles are in foreign countries?
Hollywood Gets Lost In Translation MEXICO CITY — This weekend, thousands of Mexicans will line up at theaters to see The Knight of the Night, Super Agent 86 and The End of Time. Never heard of them? Those are the literal translations of the Spanish titles given to The Dark Knight, Get Smart and The Happening, examples of the marketing tactics that can leave cinephiles baffled as Hollywood reaches out to increasingly important foreign audiences. Titles are often tweaked to sound better in the local language, or to provide a hint of the plot to audiences who might be skeptical of what is, to them, a foreign film. That's why Steve Carell's Get Smart is playing variously as Max the Menace (France), Agent Smart: Casino Totale (Italy), Is the Spy Capable or Not? (Taiwan), and Confused Spy (China). Local customs are also taken into account. Last year's comedy hit Knocked Up was given the gentler title Slightly Pregnant in Roman Catholic Peru and the gloriously blunt One Night, Big Belly in China. Hollywood has taken a more active role in translating its titles to make sure "global launches" go well, says David Weitzner, former chief of worldwide promotion for 20th Century Fox and Universal. Some films make half their money overseas. The translations used to be left to foreign film distributors, with dubious results. Some titles gave away too much of the plot, such as when Rain Man became When Brothers Meet in Latin America. "We have to pay much more attention to the foreign market than we used to," Weitzner says. Viviana Hernández, a moviegoer in Mexico City, said the latest Batman film, The Dark Knight, would have sounded "too evil … (like) a horror movie" if its title had been translated directly into Spanish. U.S. titles for foreign movies are often odd, too. Open Your Eyes, a Spanish film, became Vanilla Sky when it was remade with Tom Cruise. http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/2008-07-31-movietranslations_N.htm?se=yahoorefer

That is mainly a translation problem that leads to many jokes. This was also a famous problem with the Chevy Nova car. Translated into Spanish, it meant "No go". Now how can you sell a car that says it wojnt go, in any language? <grin>
