As I continue working to sell the film, I becoming more and more reconciled to the idea of taking a DIY approach to the marketing as a necessary fall back position.
While the the response from traditional distributors, agents and representatives has been mainly positive, the combination of difficult economic conditions in the low-budget independent film business and the lack of marketable stars in the film have made it nearly impossible to do more conventional and traditional distribution deals for “Claustrophobia”
I’ve been talking with one of the best on consultants in the business of independent film marketing; he’s urged me to market the film directly to the hearing-impaired community, sell the film either directly through my own website (in conjunction perhaps with sales through other major on-line distributors) and continue to pursue more genre oriented film festivals. I’m currently working on all three.
I’ll keep you updated on my progress, and as I get closer to a launch date, I will no doubt be asking for your help in getting the word out. More soon.
