Distributing an independent film is a great way to gain exposure and potentially earn some money. Submitting it directly to streaming platforms or hiring a film aggregator are both viable options, as well as running online screenings with ticket sales or creating your own platform if you possess multiple movies in the catalog. Social media can be used for promotion purposes while crowdfunding services could aid financially when making the post-production side of said movie possible in the first place and at the same time grow its potential viewership base.
