Distribution

The right audience. The right route.

Putting a movie online is only a starting point. We look at how the work is positioned, where it can be offered, and what gives viewers a reason to choose it.

Your movie is not a distribution template.

A feature thriller, a personal documentary, and an animated short do not start with the same audience—or the same sales opportunity. We consider the work itself, how it can be presented, and the rights available to support a release.

The core offer is digital publishing, marketing, and distribution. Potential channels are evaluated for fit and eligibility. No specific platform, territory, placement, or result is guaranteed.

  • Audience positioning. A clear reason for a specific viewer to care.
  • Release presentation. The title, synopsis, artwork, trailer, and metadata that introduce the work.
  • Channel fit. Sales pathways that match the format, rights, and delivery requirements.
  • Marketing scope. An agreed approach to reaching people, without promising unlimited advertising.
  • Timing and windows. A plan that respects prior licenses, festivals, and other commitments.
What distribution can mean

Think in routes.
Choose with purpose.

Paid digital availability

Assess suitable purchase-based opportunities and packaging for the work. Access depends on channel criteria and the agreed scope.

Direct audience connection

Develop the message and release materials around communities and interests connected to the story. Outreach is a plan, not a promise of endorsement.

Other licensing conversations

Where appropriate, discuss additional avenues. Theatrical, broadcast, and other licensing opportunities are not automatically included.

A useful first step

Different stories need different routes. Choose your format for a few practical release-planning prompts.

Planning guidance, not a distribution commitment or earnings forecast.

FEATURE / YOUR FIRST MOVES

Start with the people, not every platform.

  • Write one sentence describing the audience most likely to care about this story.
  • Prepare a compelling trailer, clear genre positioning, and a distinct key image.
  • Map an appropriate paid digital release around existing commitments and territory rights.
