As many filmmakers out there can tell you, the distribution process
can be a very rough road. Stacey Parks, founder of Film Specific and author of The Insider's Guide to Independent Film Distribution
(Focal Press 2007) spent years as a sales agent, and knows the
worldwide marketplace, and the major players, inside and out. Having
been responsible for finding distribution for hundreds of
independently produced films, Stacey has unique insight into what some
of the most successful filmmakers are doing right. Just as importantly,
she sees the mistakes some filmmakers are making which are preventing
them from being more successful.
