Acquisitions

Worldwide distribution of outstanding independent feature films and documentaries.

Andrea International’s global reach offers independent film makers access to more and more audiences worldwide. Like film making itself, developing the right distribution channels is an art.  The right buyer can maximize the reach and revenues of a good film and our strong relationships open those doors. At Andrea International we believe revenues are driven by strategies imbedded with passion and relationships built on success.

THE ADVANTAGES OF DISTRIBUTION THROUGH ANDREA INTERNATIONAL

1. DISTRIBUTION FEES AND EXPENSES

We take a distribution fee of 35% of the gross collections from the licensing of the feature.  The Producer gets 65% of the gross.

Most companies take a license fee and then charge all expenses (e.g. market event expenses, advertising and promotion, duplication and mailing of screeners) related to the production to the Producer.  With many other distributors, these costs can disproportianately consume the revenues.

With Andrea International, all distribution expenses comes out of our distribution fee.  The Producer gets 65% of the gross.  Period.

2. SCHEDULE OF MINIMUMS

We provide a "Schedule of Minimums" which specifies the minimum license fee or minimum guarantee (i.e. a non-refundable advance against the royalty) for each territory and medium.  We are not be authorized to effect any license for which the license fee or minimum guarantee does not meet or exceed the minimum, unless we have the written permission of the Producer.

3. LIMITED DISTRIBUTION TERM

Our standard distribution term is only one year.  If we reached certain performance levels within the term, the contract is automatically extended.  Of course, we are entitled to fully service the licenses that we effect during the term.

4. EXPERIENCE

The principals of ANDREA INTERNATIONAL have a combined international sales expertise of more than 30 years.

5. MARKET PRESENCE

We attend all relevant and appropriate major markets events, including: Bangkok Film Market, NATPE, AFM, MIPDOC, MIP-TV, Cannes, LA Screenings, Hong Kong Filmart, VSDA, MIPCOM JR, MIPCOM and MIFED.

6. EXPOSURE

As soon as we acquire a production for distribution, the artwork and synopsis are immediately placed upon its own webpage on our website.  Then, we use our continuously updated contact database to contact all prospective buyers via emails with hyperlinks to that specific webpage.
