PARADIGM CONSULTING
Peter Broderick
I consult with filmmakers on distribution strategies. To maximize revenues, it is
essential to proactively design a distribution strategy for each film rather than
simply react to offers. I work with filmmakers to develop unique strategies which
utilize state-of-the-art techniques for theatrical, video, and global distribution. I
help filmmakers determine whether to make overall deals or split up the rights. I
enable filmmakers to use the internet effectively to sell directly to core audiences
in the U.S. and overseas, and to build personal audiences who will continue to
support them in the future.
I have previously repped many features and documentaries at Sundance,
including "Manic"; "Some Body"; "Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane," "The HiLine," "The Same River Twice," "Blue Vinyl," "Sound and Fury," and "Southern
Comfort," (which won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary).
