Here’s What Filmmakers are Saying:
“Jon is a wealth of hard-earned knowledge about the realities of the world of hybrid/self distribution and a great source of information when it comes to navigating these stormy and fast changing seas yourself. In these times when even sales agents and distributors are struggling to come to grips with the new distribution paradigm, I found talking with someone like Jon who has actually done it himself to be invaluable.” Gus Roxburgh – Producer – MADE IN AMERICA directed by Stacey Peralta
“I love it. Here I am, having raised all the money for my first feature myself, spent a year making it, and another year out on the festival circuit with it. I’d pat myself on the back and accept my clear state of burn-out if it weren’t for Jon Reiss. He’s definitely an inspiration. For filmmakers who thinks it’s enough to make a film and then just “wait” for someone else to put it out into the world, Jon’s a real kick in the ass.” – Jeffrey Goodman, Director of The Last Lullaby
“In less than an hour, Jon answered all of my questions about using film clips and how and if I should use the “fair use” guidelines for a new documentary I am directing. After giving me an overview, he provided me with a number of documents and websites for me to read and research and then answered all of my questions in addition to providing references that I will need to execute my plan. His help has been invaluable at this critical stage in my process.” Elizabeth Sher – Producer/Director “Horrors!Women”
“Jon’s experience as a filmmaker shines through in his tough, straight forward criticism. He pinpointed specific problems (in my script) and offered solutions in terms of structure, tone, theme, and character — all serving to craft authentic, taut storytelling. This candid feedback propelled me to re-calibrate with a fresh approach to the writing process.” Eric Murphy Screenwriter “Steel Valley”
