Substack Live: Six Offers. No Rep. No Problem. Indie Filmmaker Carolina Alvarez on Self-Distributing "Sync"

This is a recording of a members-only Substack Live I hosted two weeks ago. If you're a paid subscriber, this is exactly the kind of access and conversation you're signing up for!

Carolina Alvarez, writer-director and founder of Femme Regard, is the force behind Sync — a self-financed sci-fi feature now streaming on Amazon Prime that received SIX distribution offers. In this special chat, she breaks down what film school doesn't teach you:

• how she crowdfunded a feature in stages
• built a festival strategy around genre and community (not just prestige)
• reached out to 20+ distributors without a rep
• spotted the red flags in bad offers
• decoded the unsexy deliverables that can quietly blow your budget in post-production

This episode is for any filmmaker trying to figure out how to actually get your movie seen!
