8 Above specializes in custom audience-building strategies, theatrical experiences and digital release campaigns for independent feature and documentary films.
Every film and filmmaker is different. Your distribution goals are as unique as the film you made. This is what gets us excited – finding the precise methods that will work best for you and your film.
Jon and the team are not just distribution specialists – we are also filmmakers ourselves. We understand firsthand the challenges you face in today’s increasingly cutthroat, ever-changing distribution landscape. We bring a filmmaker’s mindset to our collaborative approach working alongside our filmmakers throughout all stages of a release, fostering an ethic of resourcefulness, empathy and care, adding clarity and lightness to what can otherwise be a daunting and stressful process.
Our emphasis on building and harnessing impactful relationships is central to our work. We work closely with you to get to know your film, your unique goals, and your artistic vision inside and out. We collaborate with you on an actionable plan that will position your film to stand out, resonate deeply with audiences, and create real-world impact – all while remaining faithful to your ethos, aesthetic, and values.
Importantly: 8 Above helps you to distribute your film, but you will always retain all rights to your film.
