I am a film maker/actor but I have had a hard time getting some of the larger distribution companies to even give you a time of day. It's also hard to even get some of the middle men to get on your side also.

Other than the use of a big name, or a deep pocket funder is there any special way to get the attention of other larger companies if you have produced a film outside of their system?

Good films help, but with such a focus on films being a better investment than the stock market how can I as a 22 year old start on the road to get my projects recognized?

Thanks,
Scooter B.
