HOW FILM SALES & DISTRIBUTION WORKS – with Ross Boyask

Today I’m joined by Creative Director and head of Acquisitions for Evolutionary Films, Ross Boyask.

We talked about sales and distribution, how the basics work, the best way to make contact with a sales agent, genres that are selling at the moment and the importance of figuring out what your film is before you start making it. 

Ross works for an international sales agency on titles including the critically acclaimed MARGIN CALL (starring Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany) and cult hit IRON SK. He is also an award winning genre filmmaker in his own right with five features as director on wide release. Including Evolutionary Films’ own VENGEANCE franchise featuring WWE Superstar Stu Bennett, Vinnie Jones and Gary Daniels.

Ross is well known on the film festival circuit, regularly attends international film markets including Cannes, Berlin and the AFM, and has strong relationships with international film buyers. He is currently developing and packaging a slate of genre feature projects.
