CINEMAflix DISTRIBUTION is focused on providing filmmakers, for one set price, all the features needed to successfully and economically launch their films. It’s a one-call-does-it-all program. There are four major sources of income which we address. These sources will generate the income you’ll need to recover your costs, pay off your investors, and have enough left over to finance your next film.
The sources we offer on our program are:
- NY Theatrical Package
- LA Theatrical Package
- Digital Platforms
- Cable VOD (Video-on Demand)
- DVD Sales
- CINEMAflix DIRECT: DIGITAL/CABLE/DVD
- Oscar Qualifying Packages
And we offer low-cost Oscar Qualifying Packages in New York and Los Angeles.
We have professionals to help us do these jobs. Overseeing the entire operation are Elliott Kanbar and Donald Rabinovitch:
