OUR UNIQUE CONCEPTS  & STRATEGIES

We focus on STRATEGIC film, television and cross-platform media. 

We provide end-to-end intellectual and commercial SOLUTIONS that span development,
production, marketing, distribution and long-tail media .

CONSIDER THIS:
A majority of filmmakers think they can market their films, but mostly they can’t.
We constantly see people who have ‘thrown the baby out with the bath water’ when it comes to selling their project to a sales agent or distributor.

WHY?

Because they don't make a compelling case to sales agents and distributors.
The film may be good, but the presentation isn't.
Every year, independent filmmakers spend years creating a project, only to lose a sales agent in the first few minutes
BECAUSE the commercial presentation doesn't land.

A sales agent is no different from any other audience.

They respond to:

A great trailer.

Compelling key art.

An exciting website.

Marketing materials that immediately communicate the commercial potential.


Before buyers invest 90+ minutes watching your film, they need to BELIEVE they can SELL it.
Your marketing materials are your first opportunity to create that confidence.
They don't just showcase your film, they demonstrate that it has an AUDIENCE, a MARKET and a clear COMMERCIAL identity.
Done well, they can move your project from the bottom of the pile to the top of the conversation. 

It’s called SELLING the SELLER. 

OhNo

Here’s how we help!

For over three decades we've marketed, distributed and repositioned films for Australian and international markets.
We know what attracts attention and what sends projects straight to the REJECT PILE.

WE PROVIDE commercial insight before your project reaches the marketplace.
OUR ROLE is to evaluate your film objectively, identify its market potential
and create the professional sales tools that encourage distributors and sales agents to engage.

WE KNOW what captures attention, what gets passed over and what makes sales agents ask for more. 

We don't only think like filmmakers.
WE THINK LIKE BUYERS.

If we believe your project has commercial potential, we'll show you how to present it so the right people want to keep reading,
keep watching and take that second meeting.

If we don't believe it has commercial potential, we'll tell you that too.
Honest advice is worth far more than false encouragement.

WE OBJECTIVELY assess your project and develop the commercial tools needed to
attract industry buyers, including:
Sales positioning

Market strategy

Pitch refinement

Trailer and marketing review

Websites, flyers and promotional materials
Sales presentations
Distributor-ready marketing materials
Commercial packaging


Practical advice based on decades of real-world experience.

We help filmmakers present their projects so distributors & sales agents
WANT TO KNOW MORE.
