ABOUT GUERRILLA REP MEDIA
Guerrilla Rep Media doesn’t make movies. We help filmmakers make money with their movies. We focus on the business of entertainment, educating and representing filmmakers in order to bring more attention and revenue to their work.
We do this in 3 primary ways. First, through education via free and paid content, second through direct consultation and work to build projects in group and individual settings, and third through the representation of completed films to distributors and sales agents.
Consulting and Content
Our consulting and content focus on 5 major areas.
Community Development: no film nor filmmaker can make their bast work in a vacuum.
Packaging: No financier will invest in you without a strong team and marketable attachments.
Financing: Financing is about more than simply finding an investor. We help you develop documents and plans so that once you do hook an investor, you have a much better chance at not only closing them, but getting them their money back on the backend. No one can guarantee success, we just help maximize your chances.
Marketing: Distribution is useless if you don’t know how to get butts in seats and eyes on screens. Marketing is about driving attention once the project is available.
Distribution: Film distribution is riddled with intermediaries and jargon. Our distribution education and services help you navigate these waters.
Investor Education: Separately, we offer investor education services to accredited investors and groups. Inquire within. (Not financial advice, purely industry educational services targeted for investors)
Representation:
Guerrilla Rep Media acts on behalf of producers to secure distribution deals in the best interest of the production and all stakeholders.
