Distribution

Angry Elf Entertainment navigates the complex, ever-shifting distribution landscape to connect your project with audiences — on streaming platforms, at film festivals, in theaters, and through digital and physical sales channels. We've built the relationships and assembled the know-how so you don't have to start from zero.

Streaming & SVOD Placement

The streaming landscape now accounts for over 80% of independent film viewership. We work with established aggregators and direct relationships to place your film on the platforms your audience actually uses — from the major SVOD services to niche AVOD platforms where independent content thrives.

  • Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Apple TV+ submissions
  • Free ad-supported TV (FAST): Tubi, Pluto TV, Peacock Free, Plex, Roku Channel
  • Aggregator management: Distribber, Bitmax, Quiver Digital, DistroKid Film
  • Platform-compliant delivery packages (IMF, ProRes, closed captions, metadata)
  • Revenue reporting and royalty collection oversight
  • Transactional VOD (TVOD): iTunes/Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu, Microsoft Movies
  • Educational / institutional licensing (Kanopy, Swank, Criterion Channel)
  • International streaming deal negotiation and territory management

Film Festival Strategy

A smart festival run builds critical credibility, attracts buyers, and creates the press momentum a film needs before a wider release. Florida is home to a vibrant festival circuit — from Tampa Bay International Film Festival and Sarasota Film Festival to Florida Film Festival (Orlando) and Miami Film Festival — giving locally produced films a strong regional launch pad before national and international exposure.

  • Festival strategy consulting — tier selection matched to your genre and budget
  • Submission scheduling and Filmfreeway management
  • Press kit preparation: EPK, production stills, trailers, BTS footage
  • Screener preparation (secure streaming links, physical media)
  • Award campaign planning (Oscar, Emmy, Grammy qualifying runs)
  • Buyer and acquisitions agent introductions at key markets (AFM, EFM, Cannes)

Theatrical & Semi-Theatrical

Not every film needs a wide theatrical release — but a strategic limited run in key markets creates the critical mass that drives streaming numbers. We coordinate with arthouse exhibitors, four-wall bookings, and community screening programs across Florida's major markets: Tampa / St. Petersburg, Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, and Sarasota.

  • Limited and platform release planning for Oscar and major award eligibility
  • DCP mastering and KDM management for theatrical exhibition
  • Four-wall bookings and special event screenings
  • Drive-in and outdoor screening logistics
  • Corporate and private screening event coordination
  • University and institutional screening licensing

Marketing & Audience Development

Distribution without marketing is a tree falling in an empty forest. We help build the audience around your film before release day — through targeted social campaigns, influencer outreach, earned media, and community partnerships. Florida's diverse, culturally rich population offers strong organic audiences for both English-language and Spanish-language content.

  • Social media campaign strategy and execution (Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook)
  • Official trailer and teaser cut consultation
  • Poster design, one-sheet, and digital key art creation
  • Press outreach and review embargo management
  • Spanish-language marketing for South Florida and Latin American markets
  • Influencer and content creator outreach campaigns
  • Wikipedia page creation and IMDb profile management
  • Email list building and community engagement strategies
