DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY We’re running with the ‘indie’ designation and as such we’ll align ourselves with the appropriate distributors, among them are as follows:
Since 2001 Magnolia Pictures have specialized in independent films, many of which have made it onto platforms like Netflix and Hulu. By leveraging the film’s momentum, partnering with Magnolia Pictures would yield favorable results. Moreover, distributing through Magnolia provides an opportunity to reach a niche digital subscriber base who support unique short films. It’s by winning over these smaller more specialized audiences that we’ll be able to build an almost cult-like hype for the film as we near the release.
For over 20 years IFC has established themselves as one of the leading independent film distributors in the world. IFC Midnight is the company’s horror genre label that has overseen some of the most modern successes such as ‘Human Centipede’ and ‘The Babadook.’ Building on the success of these films, we believe that slotting “Forget Me Not” into that lineup provides us not just with yet another niche audience, but also an illlustrious platform which only substantiates the film’s credibility.
Founded in 2012, A24 has been operating at a very high level racking up multiple hits. Among their most notable films includes, Uncut Gems, Lady Bird, The Witch and Moonlight. Many of these films have accrued multiple accolades and we believe that “Forget Me Not” fits A24’s culture. The distributor is also known for harboring and nourishing the careers of many of theri filmmakers so by partnering and distributing through them we would be setting ourselves well for any future projects.
