OUR DUNS NUMBER |
|
Inferno Film Productions, LLC, acts as a sales agent for independently produced motion pictures seeking distribution. We represent completed motion pictures. We do not provide finishing funds. We do not read scripts. We represent films with name stars and no name stars. We have represented movies shot on 35 mm film, 16 mm film, HD and DV. We have sold rights to distribute independent films theatrically, on home video, and on television to distributors in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North and South America. We meet with buyers at the American Film Market and other international markets and trade shows. We remain in contact with buyers all year long and submit new titles to buyers 12 months a year. Our staff includes a lawyer licensed in both New York and Colorado, as well as others experienced in business and sales. We carefully review every proposed distribution contract and confirm deals with filmmakers BEFORE signing off on them. We are not afraid to haggle with distributors but we will give filmmakers a realistic view of what they can ask for in negotiations. We are especially interested in:
Things that will make us turn good movies down:
If you are a filmmaker, you can review our sales representation agreement and the list of materials that we will need to represent your movie below. If you would like us to review your movie for possible representation, please mail a DVD* screener to us at: Inferno Film Productions, LLC, P.O. Box 696, Littleton, CO 80160. (*We no longer accept VHS screeners.) AFM Deadline: August 1st, 2008!We need to screen your movie before August 1st if you want it to be included in our line-up at the American Film Market in November. AFM deadlines start the first week in September and it is not really possible to give a movie a fair representation if it comes in later than August. On the other hand, the sooner we have it in hand the sooner we can start offering it to buyers.
All submissions must have all rights to music and footage cleared for worldwide distribution (no festival rights) and must have documentation to prove it, including a music cue sheet. All submissions must have a Music & Effects soundtrack (music and effects without dialogue) available. You will also need to have filed the copyright for the screenplay and the movie at the US Copyright Office and have "name and likeness" release from all cast and crew. Movies that are accepted for representation must be able to provide a trailer (under 2 min), promotional stills, and a sell sheet in 8.5x11 format (both printed copies and layered digital art). Most distributors are going to require a DigiBeta Master in anamorphic widescreen. (That is NOT letter-boxed. Please research aspect ratios if you don't know what anamorphic widescreen is.) Occasionally some distributors want the old 4x3 (aka "full screen"). So it is best if you can provide both. (Most computer editing software can do this easily if you know how to use it.)
