What are the different distribution channels available for film directors?

Film directors have a variety of distribution channels at their disposal to reach audiences with their films. Traditional distribution channels include theatrical release, where films are shown in cinemas for a limited period, reaching large audiences. This is often complemented by a subsequent release on home video platforms, such as DVD and Blu-ray, and through television broadcasting. In recent years, the rise of digital distribution has expanded the options available to filmmakers. They can now release their films digitally through video-on-demand platforms, streaming services, and even self-distribution through their own websites. These various distribution channels offer filmmakers greater flexibility and opportunity to connect with audiences regardless of their location or preferred viewing platform.
