HOW TO MAKE YOUR FILM SEEN & SOLD?
An independent film doesn’t become visible because it’s good. It becomes visible because it matters to its audience. Independent cinema is booming! There’s more independent content than ever before. New films and scripts appear daily, but only a few get real attention. At the same time, buyers and audiences struggle to find what they truly want. How to make your film seen and sold? There’s too much content out there. You’ve got 10 seconds and a small set of tools — poster, logline, trailer, stills — to convince a viewer or distributor that this is the film for them. If not, they’ll scroll to the next one. If your description is vague or doesn’t hook, then even if your film is exactly what someone’s looking for, they won’t even try watching it. Maybe the genre tags are off, the poster doesn’t show what matters most, or the trailer doesn’t speak to the heart of the story. To be noticed and chosen to buy, your project needs clear positioning: 1. Who is this for? 2. What does it make them feel? 3. Why should they watch this film? Let’s take an example: Think of the film “Lady Bird” by Greta Gerwig. Now imagine it positioned like this: “A story about a teenage girl’s relationship with her mom in Sacramento.” Not wrong. But... it’s bland, flat. It could be anything, and no one rushes to press “play.” Now try this instead: “For every daughter who ever felt invisible. For every mother who tried, and failed, to connect. ‘Lady Bird’ is a bittersweet, brutally honest coming-of-age story about love, identity, and learning to leave without letting go.” Same film. But now it speaks to a specific person. It feels. It sells itself, not by being hyped, but by being true. That’s the power of positioning.
We help filmmakers and writers shape that clarity.
We define your story’s strongest hooks and emotional drivers.
We craft a strategy that speaks to the right people, both the audience and content buyers, and guide you through execution.
HOW WE DISTRIBUTE FILMS & SCRIPTS
Strategy. Visibility. Sales.
You don’t need to push your film everywhere.
You need to bring it to the right people — in the right way — at the right time.
That’s what we do.
OUR STRATEGY
We start with a deep strategic analysis of your project.
We study your film or script to identify:
-
We identify your project's strengths and who truly connects with your film or script
-
Strongest elements of the project: themes, scenes, tone, visuals etc
-
Your film’s/script's distribution potential
-
We suggest what would make people actually want to watch this film
-
What makes it emotionally powerful
-
Which specific audience segments it resonates with
-
What scenes, ideas or moments truly “hook” the viewer
We build your positioning: how to speak to your real audience
OUR METHOD
Audience Testing
We organize private or festival-based screenings with real viewers and industry professionals.
Using our custom feedback forms and rating system, we collect emotional reactions, viewer comments, and scene-level data.
Positioning Development
Based on that feedback, we refine your film or script positioning:
-
Clear genres and emotional tone
-
A strong logline and synopsis (tailored for submissions)
-
Specific scenes to show in the trailer (with timestamps)
-
Viewer quotes to highlight
-
Tone of voice: how to talk about your film or script and to whom
-
Visual frame (stills, poster, trailer)
We don’t guess what works — we show you what your audience actually responds to.
Distribution Strategy
Then, we map the right places for your film or script:
-
Matching film festivals: genre-based, audience-aligned, and current that are most likely to select your project
-
Distributors and buyers who are looking for exactly this kind of content
-
Suitable streaming platforms where your style fits
-
Production companies: looking for scripts like yours or co-production
-
Tools & techniques for direct promotion, if you’re already on VOD
Execution & Support
We can also help you implement the plan:
-
Introduce your project to our partners (distributors, buyers, producers)
-
Guide you through streaming platform submission
-
Assist with targeted audience marketing and advertising
OUR TOOLS
We use:
-
Professional distribution analysis: we assess your film like a buyer or curator would: clarity, positioning, market fit, and pitchability
-
Our own live and online genre-focused film festivals with feedback from both audiences and industry professionals
-
Private curated individual screenings to gather detailed viewer and expert insights
-
Marketing psychology & audience behavior analysis to identify emotional triggers and messaging gaps
-
Data-driven insights based on emotional reactions and demographic targeting
This is a tailored strategy for your exact film, your exact audience, and your exact goals
