Distribution : Look for distribution first or last? by Patrick Mitchell

Look for distribution first or last?

Three questions. 

Will any small distribution company attach itself to a feature film project without A list actors or even actors attached yet? 

And will it help get investors and the pieces in place? 

Here is my trailer to my short film called Remedy. I'm looking to finally make a feature film soon. I'm looking at distribution first. Is that wrong?

I don’t know that you’ll land distribution first, BUT you could choose to work with a genre that you know sells so that you can make sure your film sells.

The film I'm developing is a Psychological Thriller, Crime, and Drama. I know there is a large demographic for my film. You find Pyschological Thrillers a big sell? Death of a Fool looks very intriguing by the way.
