The Film Arcade Carousel

The Film Arcade Carousel arm is a dynamic part of our distribution company that specializes in servicing small films with budgets under 2 million dollars with diverse stories and storytellers. The company's mission is to help get these films seen by audiences by providing a wide range of services, including distribution consulting, festival consulting, foreign sales representation, and much more.

At Film Arcade Carousel, the filmmakers are in control of the release process, with tiered pricing options available to fit their specific vision and goals for their film. The company offers a competitive and transparent pricing model, where filmmakers pay wholesale for each platform they choose, avoiding overpriced fees and giving them more control over their budget.

One of the unique offerings of Film Arcade Carousel is the Early Decision option, which includes production consulting and gives filmmakers the opportunity to secure guaranteed distribution while they seek financing. The company's licensing agreement is also flexible, with films only being licensed for 3 years, allowing filmmakers the option to take their film elsewhere if they are not satisfied.

Overall, Film Arcade Carousel empowers filmmakers to navigate the complex world of distribution and bring their films to the world with confidence. With a focus on diversity and inclusivity, the company is dedicated to helping small films with powerful stories reach audiences and make a lasting impact.
