Indie Greenlight — for distributors

Theatrical without the booking cost. Audience data nobody else can show you.

Put your catalog titles on independent screens with zero booking labor and zero rental risk — every showing pre-sold before it happens — and get back something you can't buy anywhere else: verified, city-by-city proof of exactly where a film's paying audience lives.

Pilot a title with us — no fees to start

We know why you skip theatrical

We've heard it from the inside. Our own film, Abductee, was offered a streaming-only deal — not because the audience wasn't there, but because booking theaters one phone call at a time costs more than it returns. That math is why most of your acquisitions never see a screen, even though a theatrical run demonstrably lifts a title's streaming performance, press, and perceived value. We built the machine that fixes the math.

How it works for your catalog

  1. 1

    Zero-risk deployment

    List a title; showings are proposed to independent theaters where our audience data already shows interest. Every theatrical showing is confirmed by pre-sold reservations before it occupies a screen — if a show doesn't reach its number, it simply doesn't happen and costs nothing. No P&A spend, no rentals, no booking staff. Delivery, promotion kits, live Q&As, and payouts are automated; funds route through an impartial processor directly to each party.

  2. 2

    Demand you can see before you commit

    Our audience taps “I'd watch that” on films they'd see locally — small signals resolving into a geographic heat-map of latent demand. We can tell you, before a single booking, which of your titles has 150 interested viewers around which cities. Theatrical stops being a leap of faith and becomes a targeting exercise.

  3. 3

    The Verified Performance Report

    Every run generates a standardized, platform-verified report: tickets sold, cities, seats filled, speed to greenlight, audience scores, and merchandise engagement — confirmed attendance and spend tied to real accounts, not survey claims. For acquisitions, it turns “unproven film” into a measurable asset. For your existing catalog, it's renewal-negotiation and marketing evidence generated as a byproduct of revenue-positive screenings.

  4. 4

    Theatrical that feeds streaming

    Screenings are events — live director Q&As, local press, merchandise — that create word of mouth precisely where the film played. Tracked links from tickets and film pages let us measure downstream streaming lift by market, so the theatrical-drives-digital story arrives with numbers attached.

What it costs

Per-showing economics identical to our filmmakers': the platform's transparent share comes out only when a show is confirmed and revenue exists. Catalog-scale deployment and licensed access to demand data are priced as simple subscriptions — and we'll pilot a title with you first, so the value is proven on your own numbers before you pay for anything.

Why now

The venue network is live and growing, built theater by theater on a tour that's happening right now. The audience list compounds with every show. The first distributors in will get the densest data, the warmest venues, and a hand in shaping the report format buyers will come to expect.

Try it on one title

Hand us a single catalog title to pilot. We'll run it risk-free, give you the performance report, and let the results make the argument.
