We help filmmakers design and implement state-of-the-art financing, distribution, and outreach strategies. We also work with media companies on innovative distribution approaches.
Services
We provide a variety of consulting services to documentary and fiction filmmakers. We can work with you to customize and execute strategies in the following areas:
• Financing—crafting distribution strategies that can be incorporated in business plans and used to pitch potential investors
• Festivals—strategizing about which festivals to apply to, ways to maximize your chances of acceptance, and how to work the festivals that you attend
• Distribution—developing hybrid approaches, securing the right domestic and foreign partners, and creating a comprehensive release plan
• Outreach—building awareness within target audiences, developing institutional partnerships, and organizing house parties and grassroots screenings
• Online—creating a dynamic website, partnering with allied websites and mailing lists, and reaching your core audiences effectively
• Direct sales—maximizing e-commerce from your website, selling multiple versions of your film plus additional products, and handling DVD replication and fulfillment cost-effectively
When We Can Help
While our services can be helpful at any stage from conceptualization to distribution, the earlier you consult with us, the better. A distribution strategy can help secure production financing and give you a head start building awareness among core audiences. When your film is nearing completion, it is important to have a strategy in place before applying to festivals, approaching distributors, and screening for the press.
