YES, the best time to do a D&M plan is at the idea or script phase. If you map out your marketing strategy at the idea or script phase then you will be able to build marketable elements into your movie that will help connect to your target audience.

This is the most commonly asked question. A Distributor will NOT do marketing for your movie; they will merely put your movie onto streaming platforms. For example: Suppose that they put your movie onto an AVOD platform like TUBI. Your movie will be one of 50,000 other movies & TV shows on that platform. How will the viewing audience find your movie in the vast sea of 50,000? They likely won’t; unless you do some marketing to create audience awareness. Your Distributor will NOT do marketing for your movie; you will have to do the marketing yourself. A D&M plan is your marketing strategy. You will absolutely need it!

You should find an additional source of funding for doing Marketing; otherwise all of your hard work and expense in making the movie will go to waste if you don’t get your movie properly distributed and marketed.

NO, we do not guarantee the success of any movie. Much of the success of a movie depends on how good the movie is. But we do assure that you will have a much better chance of success with a D&M plan.

It is an ACTIONABLE Plan. It will give you a roadmap on exactly what to do; how to do it; and how much to spend. Obviously it’s up to you whether or not you follow every recommendation in the plan. And by the way, remember that you will need to have funds available to do marketing expenditures.

If you don’t want to execute the plan yourself, our team can help you. We will charge you fair fees for our time and services; those fees are outlined in the plan.

The Film business is super high risk and many indie films lose money. With a D&M plan you will have a 5x better chance of making money with your movie, but there are no guarantees. If you can’t afford to lose money then perhaps you should think twice before making an indie film. We’re sorry to say it, but that’s the reality.
