There is no step by step manual on how to distribute your own film,
but Greg Spotts wrote a fantastic book documenting our experience at Brave New Films, and the tools you can use here come out of that work.
Here are a few excerpts, and you should without a doubt order this book. It will be the best $10 you'll spend as a filmmaker. (since Brave New Theaters is free)
