MARKETING & DISTRIBUTION SERVICES
The US media marketplace is flooded with content, and the battle for people’s attention is fierce. How can filmmakers get their projects noticed, especially when funds are tight and offers from big studios are rare?
Sifting through the many, many options for marketing and distributing films is daunting, and making the wrong choices can be extremely costly. Therefore, working with an experienced distribution executive makes sense.
Josh Levin of Gallant Films specializes in getting “hard-to-market” films released. He has brought more than 30 award-winning independent, foreign and documentary films to the US marketplace – from multi-city theatrical runs to DVD premieres, and everything in between. He can show you how to find the right distribution partners, stretch a small marketing budget to maximize your reach, and position your work to best find its audience.
Among the services Josh Levin provides:
- In-depth critique and evaluation of your film from the perspective of the marketplace.
- In-depth critique and evaluation of your marketing materials, including trailers, press kits, key art, web site, flyers, postcards and posters, from the perspective of their effectiveness.
- Market research relevant to your film, based on such criteria as genre, talent, performance of similar titles, and overall market conditions.
- Detailed strategy for finding the right distribution partners for your film.
- Festival and film market strategy.
- Review of distribution deal memos from a pragmatic business perspective (please note: Gallant Films is not a law firm and we don’t pretend to be – always consult a qualified attorney before signing any contract).
- Release strategy for filmmakers who choose the self-distribution route.
- Recommendations for contract service providers and vendors, including publicists, key art designers, web designers, printers and DVD replicators.
Other consultants charge $5,000 and up just to review a new project. However, we're well aware that most new filmmakers have put so much of their resources towards making the film that they cannot pay such high prices. Therefore, our rates are much more flexible. Services start at only $999.
