Most filmmakers do not consider distribution until after their festival run has ended. This results in many great films going unsold and never securing distribution. Slated's Distribution Showcase helps you create distributor demand around your film during your festival run, which ensures you'll have options for distributing your movie when you're ready.
Whether you have a narrative, documentary, or animated feature-length film, each finalist gets the opportunity to be showcased for up to 280 sales companies and buyers.
Finalists will be offered Slated's sales and distribution services to introduce their film to a network of sales companies and distributors who review material from Slated on a regular basis. So far, every film has received at least one offer and most receive multiple offers to sell and distribute their films. There's no upfront cost to Slated’s sales and distribution services, there’s no obligation to accept any offer, and the filmmaker is always in the driver’s seat.
In addition, finalists will receive a FREE consultation with Slated's film finance and sales team who have been responsible for financing and distributing over 40 films. They'll also get FREE thoughts on the cut from a Slated exec.
The Grand Prize winner will be selected from the finalists and will also receive a FREE virtual test screening with 10 pages of reaction from three professional screeners.
