Filmmakers in both the studio system as well as on the independent side of the film industry are often vexed by film distribution, marketing, and press relationships. That's why we had Ben's long-time client and former business partner from Mutiny Pictures on the podcast to talk about his experiences as a director seeking distribution for his film as well as working on the inside of an independent film distribution startup.
