Considering sales agents and distributors as primary gatekeepers, the book examines the networks in which they operate, how they operate, how their practices have evolved, and the power and control they exert over the business of independent film distribution. Critically, it also considers how they are affected by the powerful influence of Netflix and Amazon in the online era. At a time of disruption and change to traditional business models and industry professions, Roderik Smits argues that gatekeepers remain equally – if not more – crucial to the distribution and circulation of films in international markets. .Palgrave Global Media Policy and Business,2634-6192Motion picturesMass media—Political aspectsCultural policyFilm/TV Industryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413170Media Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412070Cultural Policy and Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411120Motion pictures.Mass media—Political aspects.Cultural policy.Film/TV Industry.Media Policy.Cultural Policy and Politics.384.84384.84Smits Roderikauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut12252519910484850903321Gatekeeping in the Evolving Business of Independent Film Distribution2844868UNINA
