Market Research and Testing
Think Big Films LLC offers a wide range of sales, marketing and review services for films in development or nearing final completion. Our goal is to determine the “face and mind” of each film’s audience before funds are expended on marketing and promotion.
Through the use of focus groups and interviews we use cutting edge qualitative techniques to access a film’s potential and the most appropriate target market. This process also provides valuable feedback to the filmmaker to use in editing the film to achieve the maximum impact and best reception with an audience.
Think Big Films LLC will meet with filmmakers to fully understand their projects. After review, we may offer a “Letter of Interest” for projects that meet our criteria. This provides a non-binding expression of interest in further reviewing the film for its distribution potential. As a filmmaker is discussing the financing of his/her film, an indication of interest will often prove useful, and may provide a partial answer to the question of what will happen after the film is complete.
Think Big Films LLC can arrange “four walling” (showing the film in a theater for audience and press reviews), and for purposes of re-editing the film if necessary.
Advertising
Think Big Films will work with and advise the filmmaker on various forms of marketing strategies and marketing collateral for the film.
This includes:
- Preparing and developing a web presence for each film
- Developing and testing film trailers for effectiveness
- Access to our pool of experts as needed to maximize the impact of a marketing and public relations campaign
- Using the latest web tools to generate on-line exposure for a film and raise the film’s profile on the worldwide web and in widely used search engines
- Positioning each film in domestic and worldwide markets both in physical form as well as in the digital domain for maximum exposure to its target audience
Domestic Distribution Services
Think Big Films has, and continues to develop, relationships with a wide range of distribution channels including various theater chains, independent theaters and television outlets. We caution our clients about the reality that independent films rarely break through to wide release domestically or internationally, but we have the contacts to fully explore these distribution channels and have films seen and judged on their merits.
Think Big Films can customize a distribution package that fits the needs of your film.
Think Big Films provides services to analyze all of the on-line and other electronic delivery formats that are either in use or planned for their effectiveness. Think Big Films works diligently to protect the work of its clients. Illegal downloading and illegal file-sharing and swapping is a threat to the interests of our clients and we work tirelessly to protect the legal rights of our clients and their intellectual property.
International Distribution Services
As a film distribution company Think Big Films has access to international film festivals and film markets. For the right projects, Think Big Films is available to oversee foreign distribution. Typically Think Big Films contracts with foreign distributors with expertise and familiarity in their home markets. We can help you choose the best, most profitable approach to maximize foreign sales.
Think Big Films stays up-to-date with the ever-changing world of international film festivals. We can coordinate, manage and monitor submission into the most appropriate festivals for your film.
