Welcome back to the Independent Filmmaker's Guide

The navigation of film distribution can be one of the more difficult parts of the filmmaker's process. From understanding deal memos, aligning expectations, to simply getting something you've undoubtedly spent so much time and effort on in front of, and sometimes literally in the hands of, your intended audience.

These are just some of the things covered in today's valuable and personal episode with guest Malcolm Ingram - an acclaimed and decorated filmmaker and documentarian, as well as an ambassador of the now resurgent desire for physical media. Leveraging all these things, Ingram felt a personal pull to, most recently, start his own distribution company with a focus on this physical media Mercantile Instinct.

And his first release is the film CLERK (yes, a look at the man and the stories behind the hit CLERKS).  CLERK will feature both Blu-Ray as well as VHS and Blu-Ray - with wide release on September 26th.
