"I got more out of this seminar on distribution than I have from reading books, participating in distribution meetings and a couple of $425 an hour sessions with my entertainment attorney. Jerome provided clear and compelling information on the distribution side of the movie business. Anyone that takes this seminar ... will come away with tremendous knowledge and executable ideas to implement."
