Film publishing, marketing and distribution built around your next chapter. No upfront fees. An agreed share of what you sell.
The gap after the final cut
Creation has
opened up.
Opportunity
should too.
Making a film and getting it seen are different kinds of work.
New tools have put more creative power into more hands. But a finished film still needs a clear position, a practical release path and a way to reach people who will care.
FilmTakeoff brings publishing, marketing and distribution into one conversation. We work toward an agreed release plan, with no upfront FilmTakeoff fees and a shared interest in what your film sells.
What we believeA release has moving parts
One film.
A considered path forward.
Prepare the release
Turn the film into a clear, organized publishing package: materials, metadata, positioning and a delivery plan.
02 /Find the audience
Define who the film is for and build the message, assets and outreach around that audience.
03 /Move into market
Explore appropriate sales and distribution routes, with rights, windows and commercial terms in view.
Every project is reviewed for fit. Scope and channels are agreed individually; sales and placements are not guaranteed.
publishing & marketing fees
Clear terms first. The agreement defines the share, license scope, revenue calculation, deductions, reporting and payments. No percentage hidden behind a promise.
Different formats. Same respect.
For the stories
that had to
be made.
Narrative features. Documentary perspectives. Short-form worlds. Animated ideas. Episodic journeys.
Finished and near-release projects are our focus. Independent, first-time and AI-assisted creators are welcome—with a clear account of the rights and permissions behind the work.

The release-readiness field guide
A final cut is a creative milestone. A releasable film is also a complete set of assets, permissions and decisions. Build the handoff before you need it.
Find the audience before the release date
“Everyone who likes movies” is a starting point, not a release plan. Strong positioning connects a particular film with a specific reason to watch it.
Read the revenue share, not just the percentage
A percentage only makes sense when you understand what it applies to. Use these discussion points to make a proposed partnership easier to evaluate.
What does no upfront fees mean?
There is no upfront FilmTakeoff publishing or marketing fee. Our compensation is an agreed share of revenue from sold copies. The written agreement explains the revenue definition, share, any deductions and payment process before work begins.
What percentage do you take?
There is no single published percentage. Scope, rights, markets and the work involved inform the proposal. You receive the revenue-sharing terms for review before you commit.
Do I keep ownership of my film?
The model is designed around creators retaining their underlying rights. Any permission needed to publish, market or distribute is set out in a separate written agreement, including media, territories, duration and permitted uses.
Can I submit an AI-assisted or AI-generated project?
Yes, with clear disclosure. Identify the role of AI, relevant tools and any generated voices, likenesses, music or footage. You must be able to explain your rights and the permissions needed for commercial use.
