Marketing Feature Films: Distributors
A list of Australasian film distributors. A distributor will license the rights to broadcast or screen a film. A theatrical distributor is a company that will acquire the rights to promote and release a film in a particular country or group of countries (known as a territory).
As digital technologies proliferate, low-budget or digital films will find it increasingly difficult to secure a home territory DVD release, let alone theatrical. The market is incredibly competitive, even in New Zealand.
Local distributors will plan and oversee the release strategy for a film including a media campaign; sell the film to exhibitors (cinemas); and carry the cost of prints and advertising (P & A).
