Non-Theatrical and Educational rights are critical, yet often overlooked components of any film's release. Chris Horton from Sundance Artist Services recently told us, "I wish more filmmakers were aware of the audience engagement and revenue opportunities this type of distribution offers. These aren't the sexy late night condo deals you read about, but for many filmmakers, they're the most important." Thanks to colleagues like Peter Broderick, Jon Reiss and so many others, we can now draw from a reservoir of Non-Theatrical and Educational ("Nt/Edu" or "Semi-Theatrical") wisdom. Just last week, Melanie Miller urged filmmakers, "Don't Forget Non-Theatrical & Educational" in her brilliant walkthrough of release windows. This piece will do just that and walk you through how to maximize the potential of these rights streams. For a detailed Nt/Edu glossary, see this reference guide.

On the road in places like South Jordan Ut, Memphis Tn, and Houston TX, we met a lot of filmmakers of all ages and experience levels united in their desire to find sustainable ways to make their films. There's no question: in this day and age, youth has an advantage. Digital natives have a leg up in the world in which you are responsible not just for making your film but connecting directly to your audience. That raises a couple of very big, important questions: What about the delicate-but-brilliant filmmaker-introvert? Read More: An Introvert's Guide to Crowdfunding What about older filmmakers who have filmmaking experience but find social media frustrating, if not downright terrifying? I thought I had reasonable answers to these questions (something pretty cold-hearted, to be honest, like, "Well, adapt or die") until I was asked to moderate a marketing and distribution panel at the Austin Film Festival where I met Melanie Miller.

Tyler Labine has kept us laughing out loud throughout his career, both on the small screen with television shows like Reaper and in theaters with movies like Tucker & Dale Vs Evil. Now, he gets one of his biggest roles to date in writer/director Rob Pearlstein’s Someone Marry Barry.
In the film, Labine plays the title character, an obnoxious and politically incorrect man who seriously lacks a filter between mind and mouth. As much as his friends (including Damon Wayans, Jr., Hayes MacArthur and Thomas Middleditch) care about him, they have long since grown tired of his disgusting antics and decide to find him a wife so that she can deal with him instead. However, Barry ends up finding the love of his life on his own in Melanie Miller (Lucy Punch), a woman every bit his match.
