I wrote Murder and Cocktails. It was reviewed favorably by Stage 32 so I produced it.
All in $78,000.
It premiers January 23 on Prime, Apple +TV and all cable platforms.
Multi award winning director who sold a film out of Sundance.
The DP filmed a feature with Paul Schrader.
Music scored by a composer who scored a scene in Quentin Tarantino’s, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
See the trailer http://tinyurl.com/y5erkbwt
Got great original music with real instruments, not computer generated.
Here’s the theme song http://tinyurl.com/389fsx8f
You can do it too. Ask me any question.

AMA? What do streamers pay (ballpark) for a movie like yours?
6 people like this
It’s not what streamers pay it’s what they charge. The streamers decide the price. Then about 50% of the sales stays with the streamer. The money goes to the sales agents which keeps about 20% for their commission.
In the end I get 80% of half, not much.

Thanks SherLann. Please don't reveal the end.
The director, Henry Barrial, has 6 features under his belt and sold his first film out of Sundance. The DP, John DeFazio, filmed a feature for John Schrader and the editor does national TV. This is my third feature. I encourage everyone to write a contained story and then try to produce it themselves. Good things come from that formula.

Ron and or anyone else I'm curious how to get my feature doc to a streamer - did you have an intro or is there another way? I would love to have a conversation if you're open to it? thanks so much!

To get to a streamer you need a sales agent. To get a sales agent try this list from The American Film Market. You'll need a 100% finished film, an excellent trailer, and probably a one-sheet. Look at these agents and select only those who do your kind of film. Not all sales agents sell all films - https://americanfilmmarket.com/exhibitor-list/

Brenda - I think the trailer is about a minute too long. Cut the repetition. Once you’ve done that try submitting to https://www.indierights.com/indiefilmdistribution/

Nice! Gonna check it out!
Congas Ron, I have prime and will check it out. I'm sure you'll be looking out for more content in the future. May I suggest a fantasy/drama? Check out my profile and see what you think! Yes, it may be a big budget production! I'm sure that if it's a good risk, it's worth taking. Have a great weekend.
