Distributing Your Film

You’ve made the film, now… about distribution…

Michael Madison and Linda Nelson founded IndieRights in 2000. Known for their innovation, their digital feature Shifted was the first movie on Amazon’s UnBox (the predecessor of Amazon Video) and Amazon used the film to promote their platform for over five years. Delivered became the first independent feature to edit and master a 4K movie using Adobe CS5. Articles in Variety, HDVideoPro and an Adobe Success Story followed. The duo forged partnerships early on with leading digital platforms including Amazon, Google, AppleTV, TubiTV, and others. These partnerships insure that IndieRights can offer the very best audience opportunities for their own films, as well as the more than 800 other filmmakers they work with. IndieRights exhibits every year at AFM and the Cannes Film Market.
