We are producing an original futuristic sci-fi short film created with a combination of AI filmmaking and cinematic production techniques. The film is currently in post-production, and we are looking for an experienced Film Sales & Distribution Agent who can help us develop and execute a practical monetization and distribution strategy.

The selected person will help identify the best commercial channels for the film, approach potential buyers and distribution partners, and advise our team on how to generate sustainable revenue from the project.

We are especially interested in opportunities involving streaming platforms, digital distributors, television channels, YouTube and social-video monetization, AVOD/FAST platforms, international licensing, film buyers, festivals, brand partnerships, sponsorships, and other legitimate commercial distribution channels.

Responsibilities include identifying suitable markets and platforms, contacting buyers/distributors, presenting and pitching the film, negotiating potential deals, advising us on pricing and licensing structures, recommending the best release strategy, and helping us understand which revenue channels are realistically worth pursuing.

We are looking for someone who understands both traditional film distribution and modern digital monetization. Existing relationships with distributors, streaming platforms, broadcasters, content buyers, sales agencies, or digital media companies are highly valuable.

This is intended as a results-oriented collaboration. We are open to discussing commission, revenue sharing, or profit-sharing based on successfully completed distribution or licensing deals. We are particularly interested in building a longer-term relationship if the collaboration performs well.

I have experience in sales and marketing within the book industry, with a strong interest in expanding content reach and identifying new commercial opportunities.

I’d be interested in helping you identify potential buyers, explore distribution channels, and develop strategies to generate revenue from your film. I’m proactive, commercially minded, and ready to take a hands-on approach to researching opportunities and executing an effective outreach strategy.

I’d also be happy to discuss the working arrangement, whether it involves an upfront fee, a commission-based structure, or a combination of both.

I’d welcome the opportunity to learn more about your project and discuss how we could work together.
