Distribution First Mindset Filmmaker Guide and Checklist
The Distribution First Mindset Guide challenges filmmakers to rethink the traditional approach to filmmaking by placing distribution strategy at the center of the creative process from the very beginning.

Designed especially for independent and faith-based filmmakers, the guide outlines practical strategies for building an audience early, aligning creative decisions with distribution goals, and navigating today’s evolving distribution landscape—including theatrical, streaming, hybrid, and self-distribution models.
