Distribution : FilmHub to Acquire Five Exclusive Titles per Month, Scale to 20, releasing 500-1000 by Jack Binder

Good to know about FilmHub:

"DEADLINE: Your current acquisition rhythm is five exclusive titles per month. And you’re aiming to scale that up to 20?

D’ESCRAGNOLLE: Yes, we’re generally acquiring about five exclusively per month, and scaling that to 20. But we’re also releasing, non exclusively, another 500 to 1000 titles per month. We’re a full distribution company, so while we’re acquiring directly from producers themselves, we are also acquiring from other sales agents, distributors, and studios.

DEADLINE: That’s a lot of titles. Can you talk me through how your tech systems help you work at this scale and pace?

D’ESCRAGNOLLE: We work with over 300 sales agents, distributors, large catalog owners, and studios. We still need to talk with our partners and sign deals. But at the same time, once we have deals, we can utilize technology to move much faster. For instance, when we do a deal with a distributor or sales agent, we ingest all of their assets into our system. Our system then creates the caption files and key art. We are handling all transcodes and assets. We also do our own quality control, rather than outsourcing to a post house. That’s how technology makes us faster. On the other side, for our sales team licensing to the major SVODs and broadcasters, as soon as a title comes into our catalog, they get automatic notifications."
