The document discusses different types of media institutes that could distribute an independent filmmaker's product and the pros and cons of each. It contrasts independent production, which has a low budget and small staff focused more on commercial than creative work, with commercial production which has a large budget, many divisions, and produces feature films for cinema release. It also outlines different distribution options like film festivals, YouTube, university cinemas, social media, and UK distribution companies. The document recommends YouTube as a distribution choice for its ease of use, ability to market to other social media, and to get feedback via comments.
