“Our film reached 23 screens without a distributor. We set the terms, and the money arrives without delay.”
Good to know.
- How does booking work?
- Pick a screen and dates. Instant titles confirm on the spot; approval titles go to the producer, usually same day.
- When do I get paid?
- Attendance goes in, settlement comes out every week — flat fee or revenue share, exactly as written in the agreement.
- Who handles rights and delivery?
- Territory and window are checked before a booking confirms, then DCP, KDM and marketing arrive automatically for the whole run.
Built for runs, not just one-offs.
One agreement, keys valid for the full window, settlement without delay.
- Single screening
- Premieres, festival nights and school shows.
- Multi-week run
- A start and end date. Settled as each show is reported.
- Windowing
- Every title shows its release window — the staggered schedule that moves a film from the cinema to VOD and streaming — so you know how long it is yours to play.
