Indie filmmakers are exploring new paths to distribution beyond major cities, opting for regional tours in areas like the Midwest and South. These tours often include live events such as Q&As or performances, echoing historical practices from the 1920s. Filmmakers like J. Horton and Peter Hyoguchi are leading the charge, utilizing their experiences to educate others on the benefits of direct audience engagement. This DIY approach not only empowers creators but also potentially increases their film's visibility and revenue through personal interactions and unique screenings.
For the premiere of my last movie, 'Craving,' we did a theatrical screening in a sold-out room with over 200 seats. Honestly, I used to shy away from screening my films with audiences.
