Create a reliable viewing path.
Start with a working HTTPS screener link on a trusted viewing service. Test it in a browser where you are not logged into your own account. Check the password, playback, sound, captions, and any expiry setting. Label an unfinished cut clearly and explain what will change. Do not submit the only copy of your film or share your account credentials.
Write three lengths of the story.
Prepare a one-sentence logline, a short paragraph, and a fuller synopsis. State the genre, tone, central premise, and audience appeal plainly. Distinguish a spoiler-free sales description from a review synopsis that explains the complete work. Keep the title, creator names, runtime, language, country, and completion status consistent across the package.
Make the visual assets usable.
Identify the poster or key art, a small set of representative stills, and a trailer or teaser if one exists. Keep original files and record the permissions attached to photography, fonts, illustration, and stock elements. Do not assume one crop works everywhere. Exact aspect ratios, dimensions, and technical deliverables depend on the channels agreed for release.
Collect rights and disclosure notes.
Create an inventory of the work’s main ingredients: script, performances, music, locations, archive footage, third-party images, and AI-assisted elements. Record who owns each element and which documents support the intended commercial use. Flag unresolved permissions and temporary material early. Review readiness is different from full commercial clearance.
List release commitments before dates.
Summarize previous releases, festival plans, territory licenses, distribution agreements, screening arrangements, and any embargoes. Include dates and the relevant limits. A potential partner should not have to discover later that a proposed channel is already restricted. You can provide a high-level summary initially and agree a secure process for detailed documents.
Send a compact package.
The first submission is not a request for every production file. Use the form to provide the essential facts, a viewable screener, rights and AI notes, and the questions you want to discuss. Keep sensitive contracts and large masters for the agreed next step. Save the submission reference so future updates can be matched to the right project.
