Film release

Film release

A film release is the stage at which a completed film is legally authorized by its owner for public distribution.

The process includes locating a distributor to handle the film. For example, a film may be shown at a film festival or trade show in order to attract distributor attention and, if successful, may then be released through a chosen distributor.
