Book excerpt: Have you made a short film and are wondering how to share it with the world? How to get it screened by festivals? How to sell it successfully? Or whether you should publish it online? Then this is the book for you.Hundreds of short films are released every day, but many of them get lost in the sheer flood of projects. Filmmakers are often frustrated because there are numerous distribution options, but they don't know which ones are best for their film. Others pay a lot of money for distribution, but without the desired success and finally give up with a broken heart. But there is another way!As an independent filmmaker and also as an employee of a large film agency, I have promoted short films for more than a decade. By evaluating thousands of projects, I learned how to release and market them most effectively and successfully.By now my own films have been screened at over 800 festivals worldwide, won numerous awards, and usually sold for a profit.In this book, I'll share with you all the insights I've gathered over the years.
