"I can't say enough about Jerome's Program! It's fun, sincere, candid and informed. You can't put a price on the information he teaches -- but avoiding the pitfalls of distribution could save you north of $50,000!"
"GREAT Program! What makes Jerome's material so powerful is his personal experiences in the trenches. He fills a gap in most filmmakers' education and provides a roadmap for the often murky and ever-changing world of distribution. His Program is important, valuable, and one that filmmakers of all levels can benefit from in getting their movies out there."
-- Doug Atchison, Director/Writer,
"Akeelah and the Bee"
"Since the class I attended, I've sold 2 films to Lionsgate and I have a 3rd that I'm shooting for them. Everything Jerome says -- as much as I fought it initially -- is right on!"
-- Bobby Leigh, Producer/Director,
"Unraveled," "Experiment In Torture"
"Incredible Program. Never before has a film producer put together a step-by-step approach to navigating the world of distribution. Taking this course is a MUST for any producer or director who's serious about having success. To not understand the marketplace and how to work it, is financial suicide for your movie. Don't do that. Don't be one of those filmmakers who think they know everything. Get this phenomenal 'Secrets To Distribution' Program, understand what you need to do to have success, then do it!"
"Jerome Courshon's 'Secrets To Distribution' Program illuminates the fact that perseverance, hard work, and research are essential to a filmmaker's success. Realizing the steps we can take to affect the fate of our film is empowering, and Courshon's advice is tailored to lead producers into taking power into their own hands!"
-- Chase Masterson, Actress,
"Star Trek: Deep Space 9" and numerous other Film/TV credits; Producer, "Yesterday Was a Lie,"

"Without Jerome's information and resources, I'd never have gotten distribution through Warner Bros. for my 'no name' feature. Not in a million years!"
-- Vince Rocca, Producer, "Kisses & Caroms,"
"The Ghostmaker"
"Wow! It's about time someone created a road map for this crazy complicated world of movie distribution. As film producers we need to know how to distribute our own films. It's not just about producing them anymore. What's the point if no one goes to see it? Finally, with Jerome's 3-Day 'Distribution School' DVD Series, we not only have the knowledge to distribute our films, but we get to make money doing it! It doesn't get any better than this!"
"One of the dark secrets in the movie biz is that it feeds on ignorance. 'They' don't really want you to know, no matter what 'they' say. It's the reason most filmmakers never make a second movie -- they get so burned on the first one that it finishes them off. A filmmaker's simple investment in this Program changes that dramatically.
Jerome has created a course that cuts through the crap and delivers a distilled education in film distribution that is more complete, thorough and accurate than anything I've ever seen. Buy this and save yourself the money and agony of 20 other books & videos -- or more importantly, the lost opportunities for your film and/or bad distribution deals. This Program is as important an investment in filmmaking as a camera or editing system -- it's that good!"
-- Stefan Avalos, Producer/Director,
"The Last Broadcast," "The Ghosts of Edendale," "The Game"
"Jerome Courshon's 'The Secrets To Distribution' course enabled me to get my distribution deal done! It is an essential tool for any filmmaker who wants to successfully navigate through the complicated world of distribution. His real world examples, solid advice and passion for the subject helped me land U.S./Canada and International deals for Limited Theatrical, DVD, VOD and Television -- even though I had NO experience or contacts."

"One of the masters in distribution!"

"I have sold my movie, 'Life's an Itch.' I watched Jerome's Program over the duration from inception of my film to final editing, and I can honestly say that every time I viewed a new segment, I walked away with nuggets of wisdom & advice that helped me along the way. We are now fulfilling the final deliverables on our movie and it will be at the upcoming MIPCOM and AFM shows. I can't say we couldn't have done it without you, because we did it with you! Thank you!"
-- Kevin Kent, Director/Writer/Producer,

"As we often say at our magazine, being a successful independent filmmaker is often more about mastering the business side of this industry than the artistic side. With a clear eye, straightforwardness, humor -- and the all-credible voice of personal experience -- Jerome Courshon breaks down the distribution process in a comprehensive, step-by-step Program that's tailored to the filmmaker seeking distribution in today's complex, fast-changing marketplace.
Distribution is the most difficult phase of the filmmaking process, but it's also the one that's most critical for an independent producer to personally understand. I've been publishing MovieMaker Magazine for 20 years, and until Jerome, there wasn't any other instructor or producer who walked you through this process in a way that could dramatically improve your chances of actually making money. Perhaps it can be said that your moviemaking journey is as unique as your film itself, and it's possible that even with all the information in Jerome's 'Secrets To Distribution' Program, you may not hit a homerun. But I do know this: You absolutely won't reach your distribution goals without it."
-- Timothy Rhys, Publisher & former Editor-in-Chief, MovieMaker Magazine
"Your course has changed my life! I knew how to make money with movies in the past. Then when the distribution landscape changed, I was lost for a LONG time. Then I bought your course. I have watched it about 4 times at this point and I NOW KNOW how to make money again. The confidence and self empowerment this brings to me is priceless. THANK YOU!!!"
-- George Demick, Director of 8 Movies
"This is great! Your information is invaluable, and I could not have produced & distributed my film without the valuable information I learned from you during pre-production."

"This 3-Day 'Distribution School' on DVD contains a ton of valuable material. Anyone willing to put in the time and effort to understand the distribution business and how to realize success, will benefit from this DVD Program."
-- Documentary Magazine
"When I took Jerome's course, I had been on the festival circuit for 6 months and thought I'd done everything possible to sell my film. I was wrong. This course was such a great breath of fresh air -- and showed me how much I didn't know about the distribution game! Informative and well worth every penny, I got a distribution deal 2 months later with a cash advance.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about selling their movie. The knowledge that Jerome doles out is invaluable. As a filmmaker, it is a gift you need to give yourself."
-- Lanre Olabisi, Producer/Director,

You can't even put a price tag on the knowledge and connections that you'll get from his course."

-- David Lawrence, Producer
"I got more out of this class 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 class ... will come away with tremendous knowledge and executable ideas to implement."
-- John Demers, President, MCAI - Raleigh Durham Chapter
