On this episode I’m talking with Gary Smith about his first feature SkyFly, a sports comedy about a group of skydivers who face off with another group of skydivers in a battle for supremacy in the sport of roller hockey. Yep, lots of adventures and hijinks in this one. This episode is a little different from most of my past episodes in that Gary hasn’t yet put his movie out there, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a ton of sage advice to offer. It’s evident in our conversation that Gary has done a great deal of research into his distribution strategy, and has put a lot of careful thought into his marketing and promotional plans for the film. I love the idea of doing interviews like this because I can look forward to having Gary back on the show in a year, or eighteen months down the road, and see how these plans all worked out for him. Don’t let this forward-looking interview keep you from listening to this one, Gary is very well-informed and has lots of good insights into the world of the indie distribution today.
