Today on the show we have attorney and film distribution expert Orly Ravid. Orly is committed to helping artistically and intellectually rigorous and important films reach their respective audiences via a financial model that is sustainable for filmmakers.
Having established the theatrical, festival, digital distribution, and educational services, presently at TFC, Orly works primarily on distribution, sales/licensing and contract/negotiation services with a focus on new media digital distribution. She also oversees theatrical releases, the various educational services, and the organization overall.
Called a “big picture” thinker, Orly founded The Film Collaborative in response to a dominant and overarching structure that favors middlemen, not filmmakers. She is passionate about protecting filmmakers’ rights and revenues as much as she is about the good film.
Having worked in the film business for two decades, Orly’s past experience ranges from programming to all aspects of the business of film. Orly and discuss the current state of distribution, what the future holds, and how not to get ripped off by a predatory film distributor.
Enjoy my conversation with Orly Ravid.

It'd be nice to know when the original interview date is. Can you please start adding that to the descriptions Alex?

[@RJGilman1967]

Great stuff as usual. Thanks much. Especially, Orly, thank you for your expertise, much appreciated.

[@peterhyoguchi6775]

Ripped off. Not ripped of

[@zoanyway]

TLDR: making movies is a terrible idea and if you try it you may as well just burn your money.

[@stevengaddis1362]

Ripped of? Nonsensical.

[@MsBob314]

“The filmmakers don’t always care about getting their money back.”…….,, WWWWWTTTTTFFFFFF????!!! She’s worse than the antichrist.

[@BrianHickmanMilitaryBrat]

I've noticed that if you listen to this guys podcast you would think it is impossible for anyone to ever make it in the business. He is so damn negative it's crazy.

[@zoanyway]

Came here to say the same thing.
