Kinema for Filmmakers is Kinema’s editorial home.
At Kinema, we want indie filmmakers to win.
Our mission is to democratize the film distribution process, making it easy and accessible for an independent filmmaker to reach their audience. We have built a platform that enables live film experiences, partner-driven screenings (sometimes referred to as partner-TVOD), and direct-to-audience streaming, and we have designed it to empower filmmakers to have control over their film.
After thousands of screenings and hundreds of films, we know what's working in this new age of independent distribution. With Kinema for Filmmakers, our intention is simple: to share with you tactical tips, tools, and resources so that you too can successfully release your independent film.
Why Subscribe to Kinema for Filmmakers?
Because we don't just talk about indie film distribution. We're reinventing it. And sharing proven distribution strategies along the way.
📌 We believe every filmmaker deserves access to distribution while maintaining control of their work.
📌 We've seen independent films that were rejected by distributors go on to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars through direct audience engagement (and by the way, some films do find traditional distribution later).
📌 We know that community screenings create deeper engagement, greater impact, and higher revenue potential than passive streaming ever could.
If you're tired of hearing your film is "important but not commercial enough," you're in the right place.
