my mission statement/distribution deal
My goal w/ this company The Deal
My goal with The Small Screen
Authority is to be able to release high quality,
low budget indepent movies to
the home video market. I want to
distribute your movie. If your a first time film/video
maker and need an outlet for your work
I want to be that stepping stone. Your movie
has to be entertaining
that's all I ask from you. I would like
to deal with certain genres, perferably
horror or erotic. But I would distribute
other movies of other genres as well, sci-fi
camp or b-movie style, comedy, gore, short films
of any genre and just about anything that falls
under the experimental banner. This is
my mission with Small Screen/Grade Z if you
want to know more specifics about the distrubution
deals than make sure to check it out, just
over there to the right -->-->-->-->-->












You've made the movie, I do the footwork.
in other words, you sell your movie
through my company, you maintain the
rights to your work, you can take
it elsewhere if you find a better
distribution deal. I take a chunk of
the profits from tape sales,
how much is undetermined as of yet,
we can work that out together.
For that percent my company will take care
of tape duplication, cover art ,you supply me
the prod. stills, or if your local I'll
come to the set and take some stills.
I will take care of the costs for tape and tape boxes
Don't get me wrong, you get final say on how you want it promoted.
You tell me how you want the box cover
to look like, maybe give me some sketches
I wont do anything unless you agree to it, unless you like it
it's your movie, not mine, I understand that.
I just wanted to take that work off your shoulders
It's the way I earn my percent.
I will also do everything I can to promote
your movie, I will send it to the fan and
genre magazines for reveiws, ie. Alternative
Cinema, Psychotronic, Independent Film & Video,
mostly smaller independent zines. What I
can't afford to do is travel with your movie
if you wanna take your movie around to the
festival scene that is done by you. Remember
it's your movie you maintain the rights, if you
wanna go elsewhere w/ the movie then so be it.
All my ties to the movie will be cut off at
that point. My company is a way to provide
immediate distribution on home video, if you have
the chance to sell your movie to a bigger studio
than more power to you, I wish you luck!
I would rather work with feature length movies,
at least 70 or 75 min., if you have
short films, I would distribute compilation tapes
perferebly some kind of theme that ties them all together
and idealy I would ask that you have a handful of shorts
so I could sell individual tapes of the works of one certain filmmaker
Sound like a good deal, give me
a buzz if you have a film or one in the working
I hope we can work together!











I realise with video starting to look better and better and everything going digital
a person can make a great looking movie, not as good as film but pretty damn good,
for next to nothing, video tape is much cheaper and more accesible than film
and even the some of those hi-8's like sonys put out video as good as beta and better than
s-vhs. So go out and make an epic b-movie, horror or whatever and shot it on
video, what the heck, why spend the extra money if the output is going to be homevideo anyways
That is my plan, I'm already in the early pre-production stages of a low budget
shot-on-video horror flick, I'll have more details about it as I get closer to
production.
