MovieTakeoff
For filmmakers

A bigger world starts with your point of view.

You do not need to fit a traditional mold to start a conversation. Bring the work, a clear view of the rights, and an honest sense of its readiness.

Room for different stories

Made with a crew.
Made with new tools.
Made with conviction.

We welcome submissions from independent filmmakers, first-time creators, documentary teams, animators, and creators working with AI-assisted production. An industry pedigree is not a prerequisite to introduce your work.

The practical questions stay the same: What have you made? Who might want it? Are the rights clear? Is the work ready for a credible release discussion?

A wide coastal landscape expressing creative possibility
The starting point is your work.
Readiness, honestly described

Tell us where you actually are.

Finished or near-release movies are best suited to the program. If a cut is still evolving, disclose what remains, what can be watched now, and the realistic completion plan. We do not promise to finance production or complete the work.

Already released? Tell us where, when, and under which agreements. We can only discuss rights you control and are able to grant.

Prepare your materials
AI-assisted work

New tools.
Clear responsibilities.

We consider AI-assisted and AI-generated projects for review. Disclose material AI use, relevant tool licenses, source assets, and the consent behind any voices or likenesses.

Access to a tool is not proof of every right needed for commercial distribution. Review may identify additional requirements, and individual channel policies can affect eligibility.

Explore rights and AI questions

Bring the film.
Bring the facts.
Bring your ambition.

A private screener, concise synopsis, rights summary, and audience hypothesis are more useful than a perfect pitch deck. Start with a clear, complete submission.

The next chapter starts with a conversation.

Tell us what you’ve made, who it is for, and where you want it to go.
