The producers of Yogawoman blazed a trail by self-distributing the feature-length documentary globally and are planning a similar strategy for their current project, Aussies Rule the World.
The innovative approach entails making the film available on DVD initially via its website, then arranging 4-wall cinema screenings followed by Video-on-Demand platforms.
Producers Michael McIntyre and his wife, director-writer Kate McIntyre, run Second Nature Films. They self-funded Yogawoman, narrated by Annette Bening, which portrays the ancient practice of yoga as a cure-all for the physical and spiritual ills of today.s women.
Aussies Rule the World looks at the Afl.s popularity in such places as the Us, South Africa and Denmark, fronted by former Sydney Swans champion Brett Kirk.
