Outlet Publishing

I am starting a new company called Outlet Publishing. I'll be helping independent filmmakers market and distribute their movies. They will retain their rights and I'll take a fee from each sale.

The Outlet Publishing Motto is "Your Audience Is Waiting"  

This means that if a filmmaker went to the trouble of making a good movie, they deserve an audience.

Most filmmakers don't know much about movie marketing and if they do, they don't have the time or energy to devote to it. As a result, there are many independent films that are never seen by the general public.

How do I know?  

I have made several movies that have never been seen. There are several reasons for this.  

1. At least one of them is a student film that features a branded product. There is no way that I'll get permission to show it.
2. Some of the other films are rough, early films that I don't want anyone else to see. You have to get the bad art out of your system before you can make good art.  
3. There was never a place to show or sell the good movies. Since I am my own worst critic, I define good movies as "movies my friends and family like".  

If a filmmaker is brave enough to want distribution for their early works (the ones they are too embarrassed to show) we'll help them distribute. If the movie doesn't sell, we don't get any money either.

The good movies are the ones I hope to see. There are plenty of viewers who have overloaded on the current Hollywood fare and require a palate cleanser. In my opinion, good independent movies are that palate cleanser.  

Outlet Publishing has four requirements:
1. The filmmaker has to guarantee in writing that they have the rights to every part of their movie.
2. The movie cannot be a pornographic movie.
3. The movie cannot be a self help or exercise video.
4. The filmmaker has to tell us where the movie is currently being distributed. We get in trouble if we submit a movie to a website that is already selling it.

If you made an independent movie that you want to distribute, send an email to outletpublishing@gmail.com. Your audience is waiting.
