FILM DISTRIBUTION

Access to over 100 streaming platforms and channels for independent cinema, documentaries, and art films.

​

We distribute films that challenge, provoke, and expand what cinema can be. Not content designed for algorithms. Not films shot hoping for festival buzz. Work that exists because filmmakers had vision they couldn't compromise.

​

Through our distribution infrastructure and platform partnerships, your film can reach audiences on major services like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Netflix, Hulu, and Tubi, plus niche platforms like Mubi—all while you maintain creative control and fair revenue share.

​

Platform access varies by film. Netflix, Hulu, and premium services typically require direct acquisition rather than aggregated submission—but strong performance on other platforms can open doors for these conversations.

​

Not every film goes to every platform. We strategically position each title where it fits best and has the strongest chance of finding its audience.

FILMMAKER SUPPORT

Beyond Distribution

​

Festival Strategy Guidance

While we don't handle festival submissions, we provide guidance on:

  • Which festivals align with your film's positioning

  • Strategic timing of festival run versus streaming release

  • How to leverage festival success for distribution

 

Marketing Collaboration

We coordinate with filmmakers on:

  • Launch timing and promotional calendars

  • Social media strategy and content sharing

  • Press outreach and interview coordination

  • Audience building tactics

 

Technical Support

Help with:

  • Delivery materials preparation

  • Closed captioning resources

  • Key art development (we can recommend designers)

  • Legal documentation guidance

 

Long-Term Partnership

First film is the beginning. We want to distribute your second, third, entire body of work. Ongoing relationships benefit everyone—we understand your artistic vision better, you receive consistent support across projects.

​

WHAT WE DISTRIBUTE

Our Focus

​

Independent Cinema

Narrative features that prioritize artistic vision over commercial formula. Films where directorial voice matters more than marketability.

​

Documentary

Observational, investigative, and essay films exploring culture, art, society, and ideas. Work that contributes to understanding, not just entertainment.

​

Art Films & Experimental

Cinema Boundary-pushing work that challenges conventional narrative and visual language. Films that exist on their own terms.

​

Music & Performance Films

Concert documentaries, artist profiles, and performance-based work. Cinema that captures live creative practice.

​

Short Films

Exceptional short-form work (15-40 minutes) suitable for streaming platforms and festival distribution.

​

​

What We Don't Distribute
​

Not judgments on quality—just outside our distribution strengths and platform relationships:

  • Genre films designed for niche VOD markets (horror, action, thriller) unless they transcend category

  • Faith-based or message-driven films

  • Family entertainment and children's content

  • Films requiring theatrical distribution expertise

  • Student films or first-time efforts without technical proficiency

  • Work-for-hire or corporate video content
