List of ALL Active Film Distributors (Canada / USA / UK) – Updated 2018
One of the things I love most is figuring out the maximum amount of time I can get away with not replying to a girl’s txts before she thinks I’m an asshole. (HINT: I probably am an asshole)
Another thing I love most is helping indie filmmakers get their films funded by teaching them our unconventional approaches to pitching, crowdfunding, and even networking. I imagine this the reason you’re here. (tsk tsk, you gotta get your priorities straight! #strategicghosting)
When I talk about pitching, you email back telling me about the money you’ve raised via our tips but sometimes you email me back not knowing about who to pitch to.
“WHAT CURT. AM I SUPPOSED TO PITCH TO A WALL!?”
Yo… Why you so mean bro…
You’re right though. There’s a very specific way I advocate to go about pitching that breaks away from common wisdom, HOWEVER, when it comes to WHO to pitch to, sometimes you need a little help.
I recommend pitching to people who actually will actually invest in your films (something we talk about how to do via our email list), but you might wanna know who to contact about films you’ve already completed.
Here’s a list of all film distributors in Canada. If you want the full spreadsheet including the USA / UK, then sign up here.
And yes, this includes stuff NOT listed on IMDBPro.
– Your friend, and film God… Curt.
PS: Yes, I accept donations to my noble cause of pretending to not be an asshole when you are.

Very lmportant information.
Thanks.
Happy to help, especially someone named Barney.
Hey, Great content but is there a way to condense it? Its super spread out and take a lot of scrolling to get all of the info! Again, Thanks for the content 🙂
If you sign up to the Newsletter there’s a spreadsheet version of the list, for USA as well. The way to do that is to go to indiefilmTO.com
Hope that helps
I’m trying to get your funding and distribution guide. Not sure of the link below works. Could I email you for it? Many thanks, Curt.
don’t forget rainbow releasing
