At 4TH GROUND, we provide global film distribution solutions tailored for independent filmmakers and production companies looking to expand their reach across international markets.
Our mission is to help powerful stories connect with audiences worldwide through strategic digital distribution and professional delivery services.
As part of our marketing strategy, 4th Ground also operates its own TVOD platform. This allows filmmakers to start earning from their films while we continue positioning their projects for potential placement on major platforms. It also helps us observe how real audiences respond to the film, including viewer interest, rental activity, purchase behaviour, and overall market demand. One of the unique benefits is that filmmakers can suggest their own rental and purchase prices, giving them more control over how their film is introduced to audiences.
We work with a variety of distribution channels, including Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD), Advertising-Based Video On Demand (AVOD), Transactional Video On Demand (TVOD), FAST Channels, mobile streaming services, and inflight entertainment platforms. From medium-sized streaming services to prominent global platforms, we help position films where they have the best opportunity to grow and reach the right audiences.
Our team handles the technical preparation and delivery process required by modern streaming platforms. This includes film encoding, quality control, subtitle/closed captions integration, metadata preparation, and delivery packaging. We ensure that every project meets professional industry standards and platform specifications before distribution.
Beyond delivery, we also cover marketing and come up with promotional strategies designed to increase visibility and audience engagement. We assist with positioning films for the market, helping filmmakers identify the right platforms, audiences, and release opportunities for their projects. From trailers and artwork to promotional planning, we aim to strengthen the presentation and discoverability of every film we represent.
We also help filmmakers explore inflight entertainment opportunities, allowing films to reach international travellers through airline entertainment systems. This creates additional exposure and expands audience access beyond traditional streaming environments.
At 4TH GROUND, we believe distribution should be collaborative and filmmaker-focused. We work hand in hand with creators throughout the entire process, offering guidance, communication, and support from onboarding to delivery and release. Our goal is not only to distribute films, but to build lasting partnerships with storytellers and help independent cinema thrive on a global scale.
