Distribution Labs

This workshop offers a comprehensive deep dive into the business of film distribution, guiding filmmakers and producers through the journey of taking a film from script to screen and beyond. Covering key areas such as studio acquisitions, theatrical strategies, and partnerships with exhibitors and P&A agencies, the session breaks down how films are positioned, marketed, and released in today’s competitive landscape.

Participants will gain insights into television and OTT distribution models, including how platforms acquire content, evolving trends in satellite rights, and effective windowing strategies across theatrical, digital, and broadcast mediums. The workshop also explores international sales, festival-led distribution, and emerging avenues such as AVOD, FAST channels, inflight entertainment, and short-form platforms.

Designed to be practical and industry-focused, this session equips attendees with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate distribution decisions, maximise revenue potential, and build sustainable strategies for their films in both domestic and global markets.
