What people say
“As someone who has done it myself, Phil Hall’s Indepdendent Film Distribution book is essential for understanding the pitfalls facing any filmmaker seeking to distribute themselves. Sure, your movie could sit on a shelf or in a theater; it’s up to you. But in order to succeed, you must read this book.”

“This incredibly focused and wide-ranging book should make the gifted Phil Hall less of a well-kept secret than he’s been to date. Here the eclectic critic-scholar-showman tells you exactly what you need to know about so-called indie cinema.”
