Our new short video interview series called :20 in ’22, where members of the TFC team have informal 20-minute chats with filmmakers, programmers, distributors, exhibitors, distribution experts, and other industry professionals on pressing film-distribution-related topics in these tumultuous and unpredictable times.
TFC is continuing its tradition of publishing diverse analytical film distribution case studies! On an ongoing basis, we will release case studies on films of different genres, subject matter, and levels of success, and covering topics from sales agents, distributors, and self-distribution to reaching an online audience, creating impact campaigns with calls-to-action, and being pigeonholed in one’s film niche.
We hope you find them useful, inspiring, and enjoyable! Check out our latest slate of Case Studies!

SELLING YOUR FILM WITHOUT SELLING YOUR SOUL is a series of case studies that dive deep into the real numbers and real details of independent film distribution. Available in both Paperbook and Digital eBook format. There is also an enhanced edition with video interviews with filmmakers available on iTunes.
Please note that these case study books were published quite a while ago, but they still provide an interesting read, even though the distribution landscape has changed considerably since the time they were written.
