Hello Filmmakers,
My name is Rob Mankowitz and I was the casting dir. and a producer of
the indie film "The Utopian Society" starring Malin Akerman. We were in
more than 40 film festivals...too long ago.
My producing partner and director of the film was John P. Aguirre. We
are still collaborating on indie projects. However, the big news is
that we have recently broken through the "sales agent" barrier to deal
DIRECTLY with arguably the largest independent video distributor in
North America. They can place your film on itunes, vod, cable &
other outlets. We have cultivated a strong relationship with the vp of
business development of this company who has literally said we are the
FIRST and only producers/filmmakers he will accept content from
directly! This is called an OUTPUT deal. We have overcome the greatest
obstacle in the distro game.
As filmmakers who have been put through the ringer or more precisely
ripped off in the past we understand how incredibly frustrating it can
be to put your blood, sweat and tears into making your film with the
goal of acclaim and financial reward only to find that through shady
practices you end up making pennies...if that. Most sales agents who
shop your film to various entities will charge upwards of 30% per sale
we will be SIGNIFICANTLY lower.
At this time we are seeking to partner with filmmakers who have high
quality FINISHED FILMS ready for the marketplace. If you are interested
in discussing our unique opportunity in greater detail please contact
us via phone or email. Not through this site... ( p:323-466-1905
