Everything you need to know about the mysterious world of film distribution with an L.A. Distribution Consultant

Liz Manashil

Many filmmakers who work both in fiction and nonfiction come to realize that making their films is not the biggest hurdle they face; it's distribution after their film is made. Zoom in for a not-to-be-missed session with noted writer, producer, director Liz Manashil, who is also a leading expert on independent film distribution. Back in 2016, Ms. Manashil was selected to be the manager of the groundbreaking Sundance Institute's Creative Distribution Initiative. In this role, she conducted research into all aspects of what independent film distribution is, how it works, and how filmmakers can find distribution. Ms. Manashil will talk to us about film festival strategy, how and when to best to connect with a distributor, what sales agents do, and how to build an audience to either self distribute, or supplement the efforts of a traditional distributor.

Q&A will follow.

Distributor Consultant:  Liz Manashil

 

Post-graduation from USC Film School, Liz spent several years as a film critic for the PBS/Hulu series JUST SEEN IT (which she also helped produce and direct). Overlapping this, Liz worked with distribution expert Peter Broderick. In 2016, Liz became the manager of Sundance's groundbreaking Creative Distribution Initiative until the program's close in 2019. As a filmmaker, her debut feature, BREAD AND BUTTER, was called "an absolute must-watch for women everywhere" by HelloGiggles. It was released by The Orchard and can be seen on VOD nearly everywhere. Her second feature, SPEED OF LIFE, was released by Giant Pictures, can be seen on Showtime, and was called, "Delightful in just about every way" by noted film critic Tim Cogshell. After a year of working in impact distribution at Picture Motion, Liz is now a freelance distribution consultant spending her time advocating for filmmakers to have healthy and productive relationships with their distribution partners. She is the co-host of hit podcast, "Making Movies is HARD!!!"
