I am very interested in the Distribution Lab. I spent most of my career as a professor and making small indie films on the side. I produced for others and have always been disappointed in the deals we get from distributors. I just completed a proof-of-concept short film that is in festivals, and I am developing a feature version of that film (horror/comedy). I guess my long-winded question is can I apply to the lab if I'm still developing my film or do I have to be ready to go to distributors?
Donny - thanks for your interest. You could join the lab and learn about distribution and marketing to prepare for the eventual release of your feature. Certainly people who have taken the lab have wished that they had known a fair amount of the material before making their films. But filmmakers have found it beneficial to be on the verge of distribution while going through the lab when the need is that much closer. Perhaps join an info session and we can chat about it.
Thanks Lance!! You too!!

I'm sorry if I missed it somewhere, but where would I find the info session? Also, I can't find a cost for the Lab on the site?
Keep up the great work, Jon.
