    inquiry letter for distribution

    We like to see something grab us in the first paragraph. The reality is there are so many of these to read, you need to have people that just review these and pass them on. If at the end of it we're left wondering what's going to happen next, we'll want to see more. Think of the ice berg, only...

    It's even more clear to me now how much ground we have to make up in the filmmaker, distributor relationship. If this company does one thing I want it to be that filmmakers feel good about us. Thanks for the good wishes, good lucks, and those of you that sent us your films--it means a lot...

    While I would agree with you, that is the typical case: This is why we give gross to every film maker. A split, no net, no expense reports, no "dodging" as you put it. I myself have gotten burned by a distro. promising backend net cash and never delivering. Our contracts spell it out very...

    I completely agree. We're actually working on that now, bios are already written it's just a matter of filling out those pages and placing them on the site. For the launch we wanted to make it about the company, but then have more about who's behind it. But I can give you a quick overview for...

    I think for the right film we would like to be involved any way we could. It's not a typical practice, but who wants to be typical.

    This is a difficult question to answer without any details. I would say that if your goal is to make a quick buck and move on, then we are not the right fit for you.

    Sure: 1. We are not setup to do a large scale cinematic release. However, if it was appropriate, a limited release is not out of the question. 2. Home entertainment is more feasible, we have more control over that. I would say that is more of our wheel house than theatrical right now. 3. We...

    Thanks! I remember us talking before. I used to know of a great one, but that company moved. I would find a way to barter with a company that has that access. Shoot a 30 second spot for them--something simple, like an interview--in exchange for using their building and office at night. Most...

    I am sorry you think I'm being evasive. It was certainly not my intention. Marketing a film is like marketing any product, service or business. Sure, there are channels such as social, print, PR, digital, guerrilla etc. But how you use these channels really does depend on the film. As does the...

    Hey Ray, The films won't be playing on the site. It's not one of those deals. We're a distributor in the traditional sense of the word. We handle marketing, PR, packaging, placement, printing, sales etc. Createspace limits you to Amazon. While Amazon is important, it's not the only channel...

    Aveek, Thanks for checking out the site. If you go the submit page, there is a list of the general things we're looking for. When you're a bit further along I think we could help, but at the moment we don't really offering much at the pre production phase--aside from advisement. I would be...

    A few months ago, I came here and asked everyone what they wanted in wanted in a distributor. Everyone gave us great ideas from communication to results and everything in between. Today we launched Camden Arts & Motion. We are actively seeking feature length narrative films and offer gross...

    Hello there, film distributor here...

    Producing is like anything else with a film, when it's going great it's the best when it's not going so great... well, you want to jump off a cliff. There are all kinds of producers that do all kinds of things. I was mostly post production and (of course) distribution.

    How do you pick your distributor?

    That's a good idea. This was something our tech guy brought up, building a portal for film makers to track sales and distribution channels. I think that's important, but it doesn't replace a one on one conversation or a phone call.

    How do you pick your distributor?

    So, I'll be honest upfront. I'm in the process of starting a new distribution company which will officially launch at the end of the month. I've been bouncing around a few sites asking questions of you fine folks, on how we can be a distributor film makers want to work with (instead of the evil...
