Thousands of great independent films are made each year and never find an audience. They play at film festivals all over the world and are never discovered. Film Markets like Sundance and Cannes are too costly and complex for most independent filmmakers to attend. At GrindWorks Broadcast Media we believe the need for a new type of digital distribution for truly independent films & tv shows is evident.
Our distribution agreement for documentaries, full-feature & short films has NO up-front set-up cost FOR A LIMITED TIME with 60% of all generated revenue from downloads, streams, rentals, purchases and advertising being returned to the filmmaker. We provide transparent quarterly reporting and we work with all our filmmakers to educate them about the use of the most innovative marketing and social media tools available for marketing independent film.
If you have a great independent film or TV series that you'd like us to consider for distribution, submit your film or TV series to GrindWorks Broadcast Media.
Our Submission Period
The GrindWorks Open Submission Period & Screening Series runs throughout the network marketing process, presenting films, web series', short films and discussions on the impact of film and video in progressive thinking. The Submission Period & Screening Series includes online, as well as, live premieres of full-length works, film showcases, discussions about grassroots film production and distribution, and interviews with filmmakers and activists.
Please only submit films that you have the rights to present. If you wish to suggest a film for inclusion that’s not yours, submit the title of the film and why we should reach out to the filmmakers to Submissions@GrindWorksBroadcasting.com.
GrindWorks Broadcast Media gives your independent films, documentaries & shows the respect they deserve.
What To Submit
The GrindWorks Submission Period & Screening Series runs throughout the network launch process, presenting films, web series', short videos and discussions on the impact of film and video in progressive thinking. The Submission Period & Screening Series includes online, as well as, live premieres of full-length works, film showcases, discussions about grassroots film production and distribution, and interviews with filmmakers and activists.
The Process
Due to limited time, we show only a select few highly-rated full-length features during network screening. Instead, we highlight films—both finished and in-progress—through a series of showcases, where filmmakers submit 15 minutes trailers or show reels, answer questions via the provided social media platform, solicit ideas and feedback, and seek alliances, as well as, funding.
Please only submit films that you have the rights to present. If you wish to suggest a film for inclusion that’s not yours, submit the title of the film and why we should reach out to the filmmakers to Submissions@GrindWorksBroadcasting.com.
To submit your show, film or documentary simply upload a link to your YouTube Channel, DropBox, Cloud Service, etc.
