Finding the Right Distributor6/7/2024 Darren and I also talked about finding distribution for projects. 'Break' was acquired by Gravitas Ventures for worldwide rights and distribution. Q: Take me through the steps of selling 'Break'. And did you have to incur any of the marketing costs or was that all taken care of by Gravitas? Darren: So, you know, every movie is a little different. Sometimes you get accepted to film festivals and a lot of films that get accepted to film festivals. I know a few people that got accepted to Sundance and they still can't get their film sold. So, you know, there's a lot of different ways, but basically we hired a sales agent who has really good relationships., He took it out to the industry and the different distribution companies. There was four or five companies that were interested. We took meetings and we wanted to hear what each company's plan was to do internationally, domestically, how they wanted to market it. And some didn't want to market it or just said, we'll distribute it, but our marketing team will make a few pushes. And we wanted help on their end. We wanted a company that was going to be excited about it. And Gravitas was excited. So Gravitas has a marketing team, I also hired a marketing firm individually and we're sort of attacking it from both angles. I think the more marketing, the better.
