From understanding deal memos, aligning expectations, to simply getting something you&apos;ve undoubtedly spent so much time and effort on in front of, and sometimes literally in the hands of, your intended audience.<br/><br/>These are just some of the things covered in today&apos;s valuable and personal episode with guest <a href='https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0409007/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_3_q_malcomlm%2520ingrram'>Malcolm Ingram</a> - an acclaimed and decorated filmmaker and documentarian, as well as an ambassador of the now resurgent desire for physical media. Leveraging all these things, Ingram felt a personal pull to, most recently, start his own distribution company with a focus on this physical media <a href='https://www.mercantileinstinct.com/'>Mercantile Instinct</a>.<br/><br/>And his first release is the film CLERK (yes, a look at the man and the stories behind the hit CLERKS).  CLERK will feature both Blu-Ray as well as VHS and Blu-Ray - with wide release on September 26th.  <br/> <br/><br/><br/>A quick reminder, no matter where you are listening to us, if you could rate us and drop us a review on <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/independent-filmmakers-guide-ifg/id1521874634'>Apple Podcasts</a>, we’d be so grateful - it really helps us spread the news and build the community.<br/>If there are any topics you&apos;d like us to cover, join us over at <a href='https://discord.gg/bZd474etj'>IFG Discord</a> and enter the chat<br/><br/>IFG is created by Framework Productions, produced and hosted by <a href='https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2641933/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_q_steven%2520pierce'>Steven Pierce</a>, <a href='https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4034589/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_2_q_james%2520allerdyce'>James Allerdyce</a>, and <a href='https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0612777/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_1_nm_7_q_Matt%2520Mundy'>Matt Mundy</a>.
