press release
SARAH CALDERON - CLASSIC & ALTERNATIVE DISTRIBUTION / plenary at Producers Workshop 2
Producers nowadays are confronted with a distribution model in transition. Although new release patterns like VOD, DAY-AND-DATE and EVENT-CINEMA should be opportunities, the lack of flexibility in the classic model and the absolute protection of the theatrical window as the temple of cinema, are blocking innovation and access to young audiences. Films for teenagers and young adults (particularly male skew) are not finding their audiences in the theatrical window. Producers have a hard time choosing other models to reach them since the financing and distribution system is not adapted to the new models. This increases the gap between young audiences and indie cinema.

Watch the EAVE Plenary on CLASSIC & ALTERNATIVE DISTRIBUTION held in Stavanger by Sarah Calderón from The Film Agency!
The video will be available to watch for 10 days on www.eave.org.
