Owning Your Distribution with Uscreen CEO Allison Yazdian
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
In this episode, Jeff breaks down one of the biggest frustrations indie filmmakers face today: distribution. From being ghosted by distributors to getting lost on YouTube with no revenue, the traditional paths are tougher than ever. But there is another way—taking control of your own destiny.
Jeff sits down with Allison Yazdian, CEO of Uscreen, a platform that lets creators build and run their own streaming services without the tech overwhelm. Allison shares how filmmakers, fitness instructors, educators, and thousands of creators are using Uscreen to own their audience, monetize directly, and build real communities around their work.
Together, they explore the realities of subscription vs. transactional models, how much content you actually need, what pricing looks like, and why email lists and marketing are the real secret weapons. Jeff also reveals his new initiative: a collective streaming platform and marketing support system designed specifically for indie filmmakers who don’t want to go it alone.
This is a must-listen for any filmmaker ready to break away from the old system and finally build a sustainable, audience-driven career.
