Disrupt Entertainment LLC

The film industry is broken. It favors executives over creatives, and incentivizes old ways of thinking over innovation. Disrupt Entertainment is a North American Film Distributor built to, well, disrupt the system.Our aim is to realign the broken independent film distribution landscape to ensure filmmakers, creatives, and independent investors are given a fair deal. Filmmakers already made the film, and we don’t think they should have to wait until the distributor has made tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to start getting paid. More importantly, it shouldn’t take weeks for a filmmaker to get a status update on a project. You’ll know shortly after you deliver your films hen we’ll be pitching it, and when your film will be released.How are we different?First: We pay filmmakers from the first dollar on our base agreementSecond: we’re transparent. Part of the reason we pay from the first dollar is that it means we need to report what we made from the first dollar. We’ll always tell you the truth, even if neither of us like it.Third: . We work with you to release your film, and don’t just pump it out onto streaming services with no coordination or marketing. Every film we sign gets pitched to major players for upselling and co-distribution. We can’t emulate your voice, but we can amplify it. Consider us your personal megaphone.Fourth we don’t oversaturate our release calendar and throw things at the wall to see what sticks. We carefully curate content, and make sure every film has its time in the limelight.Fifth, we reach everywhere you want to be, including theatrical and even physical media on shelf in stores.Sixth: We use different models to keep costs down and increase visibility of a film. Just because a theatrical release doesn’t make sense doesn’t mean a community screening model can’t work. Our theatricals often take the form of roadshows and staggered releases to keep costs down and reach new communities.Seventh: We adapt. No plan means you get lost along the way and miss out on opportunities. Too stringent a plan means you can travel too far down a path that’s not working. Instead, we create a framework and general roadmap for distributing your film but not a step by step instruction manual. When you couple that with the fact that we work with the filmmaker, our model lets us give every film a bespoke release with a real chance of success.Not every film we release will make way mart or theaters, but a good portion of them will and we’ll be upfront about what we think we can do.
