be awesome online
create the perfect web-presence,
gather and profit from your
film's audience.
How it works
We believe filmmakers need to build an audience
starting right from development, irrespective of how the distribution plan unfolds.
To help with this Assemble solves the problem and pain of creating a website and other audience building tools. Whatever happens we support all direct-to-audience, hybrid, theatrical and traditional distribution models. And best of all it works across a slate of films creating an eco-system to share data, process and tools.
Create
The perfect web-presence with a next-generation film website, facebook page and branded trailer that adapt perfectly from development through to distribution. Be up and running in minutes, then refine over time.
Gather
Let potential fans sign up, demand or follow. Incentivise data collection through giveaways and perks. Identify key influencers, find partners and affiliates. Analyse and track demand, social media and ultimately convert from passerbys to fans to customers.
Profit
List every way a fan can watch the film in their territory - be it festivals, showtimes, tv, on-demand or digital platforms . Sell film downloads, rentals, dvds, merchandise and screening fees direct or seamlessly through any platform from anywhere your audience wants to buy
We help power the marketing and distribution of some the best films around,
winning awards from Sundance, Cannes, Toronto, SXSW as well as
Academy Award, BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations.
