No overhead responsibility except monthly retainer or flat fee and additional screen fees. So if you decide to change your business plan or do not have a release for six months, you are not paying large executive salaries and retirement plans which is over 30% for each employee. Companies like Destination and Polygram went bankrupt because they could not justify the overhead.

To put a full theatrical team together at the level you would be getting from Freestyle Releasing, you would need to hire a Senior Executive, plus a Senior and Junior Booker, a Senior Theatrical Marketing Executive and two assistants. You would also have to buy the software system – either Hollywood Software or RENTRAK – and additionally pay the monthly subscription.

Between Mark Borde, Susan Jackson and Mike Simon, you have over 100 years of “CURRENT” experience in theatrical releasing from wide releases to independent commercial releases in select cities as well as theatrical releases.

Freestyle’s Executive Sales Team has the relationship and can bring you high-end staff at a moments notice for 1,000 plus screen releases.

Freestyle Releasing, LLC., has an excellent track record of settlements and are equal to any other independent including larger independents like Lionsgate or Newmarket. Additionally, Freestyle Releasing, LLC., has a track record of collecting 98% of the money owed. The only time we have not collected is when a chain has gone out of business and the studios have had that same issue.

Access to the best vendors that are used by all the studios and to independents. Multiplex releases have meant we know who is best for certain types of releases. Vendors include promotions companies, publicity companies, key art, trailer and TV spot companies, ad agencies, wild posting, and printers.

Each Freestyle Releasing partner has been working non-stop for the last 25 years and have been able to survive in a business where most people are being laid off as studios downsize theatrical departments and independents go out of business.

Freestyle is recommended by the top US theatre circuits and by studios like Warner Brothers, Columbia Tri-Star and Lionsgate as the go-to company for independent theatrical service distribution

There is nothing negative about not having a theatrical department in house as you are in good company with such producers as Spy Glass, Castle Rock, Revolution, Beacon and Morgan Creek.

The Senior Executive you plan to hire from a studio won’t be used to getting their hands dirty and will need many foot soldiers to work for them to get their job done. Additionally, they won’t have any independent’s understanding of stretching a dollar and getting an extra bang for the buck with free promotions. An example is Lionsgate who can do 2,500 screens for $15,000,000 whereas Warner Brothers would spend $25,000,000 for the same release. Studios was money and don’t know how to maximize their ad dollars.
