TFC direct.




flat-fee service

We’re happy to introduce our new flat-fee direct distribution service…

Get your film onto iTunes, Netflix, Amazon VOD, Hulu Plus and YouTube Rentals!

For those of you whose films do not require the comprehensive worldwide digital strategy in our commission-based service, we offer a flat-fee service that gets your film onto iTunes while simultaneously transcoding it for submission to other platforms. Barring any technical problems, we can help get your film onto iTunes in appoximately 90 days.

Then we can try for other platforms, such as Netflix and Hulu, which can be a bit more difficult to get onto. But you won't pay if we can't get your film onto them.

If you are a DIYer, there are slightly cheaper options for Amazon and YouTube as well.

TFC takes no additional commissions on revenues generated from flat fee submissions.

To get started, just fill out the questionnaire below. We’ll contact you after we receive your info and answer any additional questions you have.

Please note that we’ll be using some of your answers as metadata, so please be accurate so we won’t have to redo it!





Fill out all fields using Title Case; please do NOT use ALL CAPS for any field. For simple lists, separate with commas, even before the last entry on the list.
