ABSTRACT
The exhibition of motion pictures in front of an audience is a vital component of their existence. If filmmakers' goal is to expose the piece to the audience it deserves, they will need a calculated way to reach that audience in other words, a coordinated marketing and distribution plan. There are several things to keep in mind as filmmakers consider seeking formal distribution. These are the items that will be a turnoff to potential buyers: a lot of nudity or perfunctory nudity, drug use, and excessive bad language, even if it fits the character. Withoutabox.com has become the one-stop clearinghouse for festivals and online distribution for short films. Cell phones represent the largest distribution platform on earth. Festivals are the places where short films get theatrical distribution, but the filmmakers don't get any money from that. Foreign distribution plans must also consider issues related to subtitles.
