Eugene Henandez of Indiewire points us to a an excellent panel of Indie filmmakers telling it like it is when it it comes to distribution of your film:

"Sometimes with high expectations, independent filmmakers create work and then try to navigate the increasingly murky world of releasing their movie. It might be a hard pill to swallow, but filmmakers today need to know that getting into a top film festival and/or securing representation from a leading sales company isn't enough to guarantee a moneymaking deal to release a movie. Calling distribution today, "one of the biggest challenges facing independent filmmakers," IFP executive director Michelle Byrd introduced a panel discussion Monday night entitled, "Distribution Now... Distribution How?" Filmmakers Caveh Zahedi (director, "I Am a Sex Addict"), Jay Duplass (director, "The Puffy Chair"), and Susan Leber (producer, "Down To The Bone") chatted with FILMMAKER Magazine editor Scott Macaulay about the topic and offered some filmmakers some reality checks."
As readers know, filmmakers like Sujewa Ekanayake, David Lowery, and a host of others are spearheading the DIY Distribution so check out the article and chime in on the debate.
