Distribution : What are some strategies to get a film considered with the major OTT platforms? by Scott Leslie

I'm part of the team which has just completed the dramatic feature, Silver Carnation, which I was both the cinematographer and editor. This is my fifth feature and last one is currently on Netflix.

This is my first time getting involved on the distribution side - and I need help! We are trying to navigate getting our film in front of the major OTT platforms for consideration, but we can't get past the gatekeepers.

Does anyone have any strategies or suggestion on how to submit your film to Netflix, Amazon, Hulu or other OTT platforms.

Silver Carnation is a foreign language (Farsi), narrative drama that follows the life of the Iranian equivalent of Johnny Carson, Fereydoun Farrokhzad, who was assassinated by Ayatollah Khomeini's henchman after the Irainian Revolution. Fereydoun Farrokhzad is still very well known and respected in the Irainan communities throughout the world, so there is a large built-in audience.
