Expand commentDoing proper due diligence is so important. I made an indie film years ago and got caught up in the excitement and came so close to signing with a few distributors I learned later were predators like Gregory refers to. I now always recommend finding out what exactly a company has distributed and reaching out to the producers of the films and ask them about their experience. Listen to your gut and try to talk to your fellow filmmakers and producers and get their direct feedback because they'll know and are usually more than happy to share intel and support other artists.

I agree, Sam Sokolow. Doing proper due diligence is crucial. Glad you didn't sign with those distributors. Thanks for sharing the tips.

I have nothing negative to say about Gravitas, although is disheartening to hear about anyone’s bad experiences.
It’s been hard to make profit on our film, but I attribute that more to its budget and its saleability, not any bad practices.
