No, we do not charge any upfront fees. We do require that you supply us with your film using the required specs and an electronic press kit (PRK). From there, we partner with you to distribute your film to various outlets.

We specialize in documentaries related to the criminal justice system. Topics range from mass incarceration, probation and parole, personal stories, social implications of living with a criminal history, and more. If your film has a strong voice and a story that matters, we want to see it.

1. Video-On-Demand (VOD) is a method of film distribution where audiences can watch content digitally at their convenience, usually through platforms like Amazon Prime Video, iTunes/Apple TV, Google Play, Vimeo On Demand, and others. Unlike traditional theatrical release, VOD gives filmmakers and distributors flexible access to global audiences with lower overhead costs.

2. Educational A/V (audiovisual) film distribution contracts govern how a documentary or film is licensed for use in educational and institutional settings—like schools, universities, libraries, nonprofits, and sometimes corporations. This market is distinct from commercial and VOD distribution and can be a valuable revenue stream, especially for indie and documentary filmmakers.

3. A hybrid distribution contract (or hybrid distribution strategy) refers to a model where a filmmaker retains control over some distribution rights while partnering with multiple platforms, aggregators, and/or service providers to maximize reach and revenue—instead of going all-in with one traditional distributor.

This approach is especially popular in independent film and documentary circles, where filmmakers often want to preserve ownership, data access, and marketing control.

We distribute to major platforms like Amazon Prime, iTunes/Apple TV, Google Play, Vimeo On Demand, and select educational and broadcast outlets. We also handle festival and theatrical runs where appropriate.

Yes. Outreach is often a core component of an “impact campaign”, which goes beyond distribution to intentionally create social change. Effective outreach helps build engaged audiences, amplify impact, and generate revenue through partnerships, screening tours, and educational engagements.
