Short answer
AI film distribution for indie filmmakers
AI film distribution for indie filmmakers starts with the same basics as conventional distribution: rights, deliverables, audience, and positioning. AI adds disclosure, tool terms, provenance, and category education. Pylon is built for filmmakers who need that AI-specific release context.
Indie advantage
AI can help indie filmmakers produce at smaller scale, but distribution still rewards trust. A filmmaker needs a clear reason for viewers to watch and partners to program the film.
Release stack
A strong release stack can include Pylon, festivals, direct community, press, newsletters, social clips, and later AVOD or FAST strategy. The order should be intentional.
