Filmmaker Drew Hanks joins the podcast today to talk about his independent film “The Made Man”. Drew self-financed his film and was able to get both a 35mm reel and a Blu-ray release created to celebrate the film’s release.

Drew is a huge physical media enthusiast and collector who set out to make sure his movie got a physical media release by whatever means necessary. Drew was so successful that he was able to get the Blu-ray sold on DiabolikDVD! If you’ve ever wondered how independent filmmakers work, how to produce a Blu-ray release on your own and the in-depth work that goes into producing your own physical media, or the business side of film festivals and the independent film scene, this is the episode for you!

Jeff Rauseo interviews Todd Sokolove, a home entertainment executive with over 15 years of experience leading award winning marketing strategies for studios including Paramount, Miramax, Warner Brothers, Broadway Video, and Hallmark Entertainment. I chat with Todd about the physical media market shifts he is seeing, how studios are balancing digital and physical media consumers, his work launching the Paramount Presents line of Blu-ray/4K releases, and some of his own personal favorite Blu-ray & 4K releases of the last few years! NOTE: All opinions here are Todd’s and do not represent the opinions of Paramount Pictures.

Jeff also dives into the profitability issues with streaming services, the lack of awareness of physical media releases in the entertainment community, and how the market starts to shift as studios realign their business priorities.
