DELIVERY

Once your film is produced, edited, and post-production work completed, this is not the end. Distributors and streaming platforms interested in your project require common, and sometimes very specific delivery specifications completed and “delivered” to them for your projects to release and play on their domestic and international platforms.

Please understand and this is very important! Delivery can be expensive and it is a necessary process that sadly a lot of first-time independent filmmakers don’t plan for. Delivery should always be part of your film budgeting process! Delivery requirements typically fall into the following categories: Lab Access, Publicity & Advertising, Metadata, Editing Materials, Credit/Contracts, and Legal Documents.
