Aggregation
Aggregation is a form of self distribution that allows you to maintain all rights and revenue on the backend while still pursuing global distribution through digital platforms such as iTunes, Amazon and dozens of others.
How Does Aggregation work? iGEMS and our trusted partners hold the relationships with many of the largest digital companies in the world and are here to help facilitate your distribution plans. Aggregators exist frankly because it’s easier for a very busy company to work with a handful of trusted partners who do the grunt work for them than to allow thousands of filmmakers to work directly with them and take up lots of time, energy and resources. Our team is happy to walk you through this further, but our role is to act as the middleman to execute your release, not to take your film or hard earned dollars out of your hand!
After considering your options, and reading relevant blogs on the subject, let us know if you would like to explore this opportunity.
Distribution (Producer Representation)
Many filmmakers will simply choose to have their films included in the Directory, which allows the Buyers to discover their films there and deals can be negotiated between parties. However, we understand filmmakers often seek more guidance on the distribution process. With this in mind, we offer Producer Representation services. This program is for filmmakers looking for help pitching, negotiating and closing a deal with distribution partners (theatrical, streaming, international) who will handle the sales and release of your film in each respective market. This Representation is often suitable for a busy filmmaker who does not have the time, energy or resources to self distribute their film.
How does Producer Representation work? Our distribution team has experience navigating the world of distribution and how films enter the global marketplace. After reviewing your film and determining your team's goals and expectations, we can outline a path towards bringing to life the release you envision for your project. Please note that packages are customized for all filmmakers case-by-case, with a combination of fees and commissions. We will represent the film and bring it to our buyers, gauging their interest as well as the release strategy for the film, navigating the paperwork and deliverable process in a way that is painless and fruitful for you!
