Distribution of my Rockumentary

Distribution and exhibition of a product is very important within the media. By choosing the right portals and outlets to distribute and screen certain medias will help increase popularity and potentially help gain a wider audience for the product. Particularly with short films, we have to be careful where we decide to distribute the material, as some places aren't appropriate for particular films. However in contemporary society, we are very lucky to have a lot of online portals that are very accommodating for a lot of short films, whatever the content or genre.

For my film in particular I have decided that the main forms of distribution that will benefit me is by displaying it on Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook, Myspace and to submit it to Future Shorts; as this film distribution site deals with music festivals.

I have also e-mailed the Hard Rock Hell festival in Ibiza which I am attending in the summer to ask whether they have any potential slots in which they can screen my film, as the main people who are attending the festival are lovers of rock and heavy metal.

This is a printscreen of the e-mail I sent however it is of very bad quality. However I just mentioned all the above and that I hope to hear from them soon.

Because the content of my short film Rockumentary is very subjective and subject specific I believe that the main suitability for its distribution is only online or at music related events or sites. Also places such as metal forums and forums of Kerrang and Metal Hammer will gain a lot of feedback and comments.

I am currently waiting for feedback from posting it on Facebook and Myspace and will printscreen feedback in a new post.
