Our Sensible Alternative to
Traditional Producer
Representation:

Professional Film Marketing Programs

We are a resource for independent film producers
and growing production companies with finished films
who are looking for
a non-exclusive alternative
to commission based
producer representation.


We provide assistance primarily in the
marketing and distribution
of completed films.

I've personally worked on around thirty films,
from indies that screened in local festivals to
Spider-Man 3 for Academy Award Winner
Cliff Robertson.


My marketing programs have generated interest
for my clients' films from companies like
Lionsgate, The Weinstein Company,
Regent International, IFC, MTV, Disney,
The Jim Henson Company
and many others.

Earlier this year, one of my clients accepted
a multi-year, multi-country television broadcast deal,
which resulted from contacts we made for him,
beginning with appointments
we arranged for him at AFM 2009.

Last year another client made several
television appearances in the city where his film opened. 
His opening was also covered in print and online
on several sites that brought his film
to the attention of hundreds of thousands of people
who are interested in his particular genre of film.

If you have a finished film, we can promote your
festival and promotional screenings, and we can help
market your film to prospective distributors.

I receive counsel from an entertainment attorney
who has worked in the field of film distribution.
 
If you have ever received an "unsolicited materials" letter
from a distribution company, then I think
you'll appreciate the value of our Submission Waiver
 that protects you, not the company
who is offering you the use of their form.

A professionally managed marketing program
will open doors for you.


In many instances higher end distribution companies
will decline submissions made directly by producers,
but accept our submissions, partially because
they know that producers who choose to work with
us are serious professionals.


Can you use some "hands on" advice?

One of my clients has taken a concept
and stayed with it until his film was completed,
but he didn't stop there. 

His film was acquired by a major distributor,
has screened in theaters around the world,
and has also been broadcast on
Starz, The Movie Channel,

and other cable networks.

The film is now available on Netflix,
and stocked by many DVD retailers.

He is available to you one on one,
for analysis and recommendations
custom tailored to you
in your own unique situation.


Contact me for more details on this aspect
of our marketing programs.

you made a movie
you're really proud of

and you think,
Wow, way to go.

Then all of a sudden
you realize

Oh, selling the movie
is the hardest part.”
