Dear FilmFestival buyers and distributors, 

In the last month or so, we’ve attended both The Festival de Cannes and The LA Film Festival and the response to Festpicks has been overwhelming.

I’d like to take this time to thank those who gave invaluable feedback to us and to invite those we didn’t get to personally, to email us for more information.

Here are some answers to the questions asked:

What is Festpicks?

A new streaming site designed for films that have been in film festivals (size doesn’t matter!)

What is the cost?

It’s free. We will transcode from mp4, QuickTime, etc.

You send us the film file, poster, synopsis and the trailer. We do the rest. Quarterly statements are sent out with details of viewing time, etc.

Is it a revenue share model?

Yes. It’s a 30/70 split with 70% going to the distributor on a single view transaction basis.

Can you block territories?

Yes. We can block territories where you don’t have distribution rights.

Do you want an exclusive deal?

No. We are a platform. Use other platforms too. If you want to take your film down, you can do so at any time.

How long can our films stay on your site? What is the term?

Your film library can stay with us in perpetuity. Our goal is to ensure that festival/ independent films do not disappear, unlike other platforms. This is a wonderful service to offer your filmmakers.

So, please email or call for more information. If you are a distributor/buyer, we can give you another outlet for distribution of your clients’ films. As a filmmaker, that’s what I like to hear!

Best,

Laura Archibald
