A brief message about Netflix from Keith Ochwat, founder of Show&Tell. He and I will be presenting a free webinar on Netflix on Thursday, 2/17 @ 1pm PT. I hope you’ll join us.
As filmmakers, we can’t even think about distribution without Netflix lingering too far from our minds.
I know this firsthand. For my last documentary film Age of Champions, I dreamt of a Netflix deal while I was still in production and tried for years to get one….then I ended up getting acquired.
The details? Only $61,000 of the $1,543,000 in revenue we raised with Age of Champions came from their global Netflix streaming deal, Kanopy deal, and all other distribution deals…combined. I gave way too much attention to getting a deal for what I got out of it.
Deal: The Facts
Making a Netflix deal is a goal for many of us documentary filmmakers, but before you exert too much time and energy, you need to know the truth.
