How It Works
Pitch your film (logline, screener link, rights summary, delivery status).
Fit & deal. We confirm genre fit and finalize the agreement.
Deliver assets. Send master, artwork, captions, and metadata (see checklist).
Launch & promote. We schedule the release, feature it where it fits, and report results.
Compensation (AVOD)
We operate on a revenue-share model for ad-supported streaming, with simple terms and regular reporting.
Special pushes (premieres, seasonal rows) can include enhanced promotional placement.
TVOD and FAST additions are in discussion for next quarter.
Ask about non-exclusive agreements, regional windows, and festival tie-ins.
