About this event

23 hours 59 minutes

Hammad Zaidi is the founder and CEO of the Lonely Seal Company Group, which includes the distribution arms of Lonely Seal Releasing and Lonely Seal Streaming. He is also a certified buyer at film sales markets worldwide.

As a distributor, buyer and producer, Hammad has seen thousands upon thousands of independent projects fail to achieve success because of their missteps early on. In many cases, their lack of success had little to do with how awesome the project was.

This class divulges what distributors look for, and how they value your project. Spoiler Alert: Assessing an indie film's value is far more inticrite than merely considering the cast list.

We will also go through every phase of the "Indie Filmmaker Trap," so you can avoid it.

This course is cruical for anyone about to make a feature film, short film, documentary, TV series or streaming project. If your're raising $10,000, $100,000, $1,000,000 or $10,000,000 plus, this investment in helping your work thrive is a no-brainer.
