Top territorial distributors, sales agents and film packagers talk about the changing role of the independent film distributor in the financing of films as the nature and value of pre-sales have been so dramatically affected by shifts in audience tastes and dwindling local DVD and TV sales. The panel will ask how the local distributor is embracing new opportunities distributing entertainment in theatres or at home and how sellers and packagers can work with them to get films made in new ways.
