How to Get a Distributor to Fund Your Movie – Insights from Filmmaker Joseph Mbah
How do you get a distributor to fund your micro-budget movie? I sat down with filmmaker Joseph Mbah to find out.
Joseph has navigated the ups and downs of independent filmmaking. After a tough experience with sales and distribution on his first feature, he refined his approach. Now, he secures funding from private investors and even gets distributors to finance his films.
In our conversation, Joseph shared his step-by-step process—from where he started to how he built strong relationships with distributors. We also discussed:
- How he gets his films funded by distributors
- The role of visual effects in advancing his career
- The importance of artwork and trailers for streaming platforms
- How one of his films landed on Netflix (and how much they paid)
If you're an indie filmmaker looking to get your movie funded and distributed, this interview is packed with valuable insights. Let’s dive in—starting with Joseph’s journey into filmmaking.
