Once again, MPN editors will profile the top executives in independent film distribution, who have played a vital role in the home entertainment industry for nearly 50 years.
Indie distributors have long excelled at multi-platform releasing, with a particular focus on home audiences across the three core platforms we cover: streaming, disc and digital (TVOD and electronic sellthrough).
“The spotlight is always on the creative side of the independent film business, but we believe the distribution of films is just as essential to the independent film community,” said MPN publisher Thomas K. Arnold. “And with streaming and FAST dominating the way films are delivered into the home, both the opportunities and the challenges are far greater than they have ever been — which is why it is so important to provide our readers with a directory of the top players in distribution.”
Nominations are being accepted through Monday, March 3. The official entry form may be accessed here.
