"I saw this film on my Qatar Airways flight and I'm still thinking about how good and unique this film is." How did we get our film on Qatar Airways?
Out of all our avenues of distribution (theatrical, tvod, avod, hotels, Blu-ray), our airlines rights were the most lucrative. Something I never would have expected. It's been fun to see how people connect with it around the world...I get little clues from YouTube comments on the trailer, and personal reviews on Letterboxd.
"Another of the weird and wonderful finds on Emirates' in-flight entertainment...It was quirky and bonkers - and whether it was just the right amount or I was sufficiently sleep deprived, the whimsy felt just enough...This is definitely one of those films that is hard to explain but oddly endearing."
Our PR rep in Seattle connected us with a film distribution consultant in LA, who connected us with a sales agent, who made the sale to another sales agent, who made the deal with the airlines. I often think of the string of people it takes in order to make something happen.
"Hello, I stumbled upon All Sorts while on a flight from Doha to Brussels, of all places. Really loved the movie. A lot! Is there any way to purchase the movie (in Belgium) that does not involve Apple?"
I sure wish there was a way to make films faster than every four years, but at the moment it seems like everything I learned about distribution on my first feature film was completely lost by the time our second film was finished. I can tell that distribution models are changing even more rapidly now. Good films will always connect with the audience, but it may not be in the way you expected. Sometimes it feels like a very one-on-one experience, and even if that's not very lucrative, there's some power in that.
On that note - I would love to create more one-on-one experiences with the film. If you want to see it, comment here, or send me a message, and I'll send you a special code on Vimeo for your very own copy! If you know someone who'd like to see it, connect us and we'll send them a copy too. It took only 5 people to get ALL SORTS onto a plane over Doha...so let's see where the next adventure goes.

This is the video montage I used when I taught a directors class showing the 4 faces of directing. Single camera, Multi camera, stage play for broadcast distribution and live event directing.
Transferring media is not easy in the case of film reels; one must not only have the right equipment to play back the reel, but also have the right equipment to re-record it. This entails quality cameras to recapture the film to a DVD.
