Selling your film is one of the most critical — and often overlooked — parts of the filmmaking process. You’ve put time, money, and passion into your project, but if you don’t know how to sell it, your film may never reach the audience it deserves.
The truth is, most filmmakers unknowingly repeat the same errors when trying to secure deals, approach distributors, or connect with investors. These mistakes can cost you opportunities, revenue, and even credibility in the industry.
That’s why I created an exclusive audio guide where I break down the 6 mistakes filmmakers make when selling their films — and more importantly, what to do instead.

Why Selling Your Film Is So Important
Many filmmakers treat selling as an afterthought, focusing only on the creative side. But filmmaking is both art and business. Addressing the business side — especially sales — is what turns your project from a passion piece into a sustainable career.
Here’s why you need to take selling seriously:
Investors want to see a return. Without sales, there’s no recoupment.
Distributors need confidence. If you can’t present your project professionally, they’ll move on to the next.
Your career depends on it. A film that doesn’t sell makes it harder to get your next one off the ground.
Ignoring the sales process doesn’t just affect one film — it impacts your long-term growth as a filmmaker.
