Today I’m talking with Marcus Markou about his experiences distributing his two feature films, Papadopoulos and Sons, put out in 2012, and his latest feature, The Wife and her House Husband, which is just starting its theatrical release. Marcus, Greek by descent and hailing from Great Britain, has a fantastic story to tell, starting in theatre and then shifting to film as a better way to slice up the sausage — give this interview a listen to see what I mean by that. We touch on a ton of good stuff in this conversation, but the main theme seemed to be centered upon the importance of theatrical distribution for independent filmmakers, as a way to get reviews and generate interest in your film — a notion that I think sometimes gets lost in this day and age of streaming platforms.
