Punctum Lab
At Punctum Sales, we believe that distribution is a crucial part of a film’s journey. Unfortunately, a lot of films experience a limited festival circuit and struggle with international distribution, often because filmmakers lack the tools to effectively distribute their work globally. As a result, many films are only screened at local festivals or national theaters, missing the opportunity to truly connect with their audience. Our Masterclasses and personalized consultations are designed to help filmmakers complete this process and get the most out of their films. We focus on the importance of planning for global exposure from the development stage, providing tools to set clear objectives and craft tailored distribution strategies. This includes leveraging festival resources, co-production forums, and labs, while emphasizing the significance of solid promotional materials (trailers, posters, press kits). We also address film exhibition across various platforms, including theaters, television, streaming services, airlines, and educational and cultural institutions. We guide filmmakers on working with sales agents, including contract negotiations. Our Masterclasses also explore how to leverage international film markets, providing practical strategies for navigating them. We tailor each talk and consultation to the specific needs of each group, offering a personalized experience and the key tools needed for each filmmaker to achieve successful distribution.
