HOW WE
CAN HELP
Strategy
Every film is unique with its own audiences, opportunities, and challenges. We identify a unique pathway to get your film out into the world to connect with your core audience and achieve your goals.
Campaign Supervision
We manage and supervise your film’s distribution and marketing campaign from start to finish, working closely with you to meet your specific distribution goals. We work with films as early as rough cut through festival premieres, impact, theatrical, educational, broadcast/streaming/VOD and beyond.
Theatrical Distribution
We provide end-to-end services for theatrical distribution while strategizing and supervising your release windows to enhance the rollouts of educational, broadcast/streaming and VOD.
Impact Producing
We establish partnerships with community-based organizations and leaders to move the needle forward on the issues that are most important to your project — building a powerful support base and larger ecosystem for your film.
“Jon gave me invaluable strategic counsel on how best to execute a theatrical release that would best serve my film, my goals and my budget. He then supervised the release which triggered great reviews and we ended up on the short list!”

Hooligan Sparrow, One Child Nation
"Jon's faith and respect for our first time filmmaker and his collaborative spirit was jet fuel for getting things done, in a completely collaborative way that lifted the filmmaker and the project overall in the process.”
RAHDI TAYLOR
Former Director, Sundance Documentary Fund
“Jon taught me not to fear distribution, but to instead tackle the beast head-on, with creativity and passion. If you fell in love with a story, there are others in the world who will respond to this love, even if you have to make your own path to find your people.”
RODRIGO GARCIA REYES
Lupe Under the Sun, Sansón and Me
“Jon guided us through the constantly shifting landscape of distribution. He helped us to first define our goals and then develop a phased strategy to accomplish them. In the end, our results together were tangible - from being the #1 documentary on iTunes, to reaching the homepage banner of Netflix. Most importantly we have been able to raise over $430,000 so far for poverty alleviation programs.”
