Two Sides of Every Deal
We serve both parties in the transaction, wherever they are in the world.
Foreign & Domestic Distributors
You've acquired a film from a US or international producer. The producer may be a novice, the deliverables may be incomplete, or you simply need a trusted partner in the US to manage the process and ensure everything arrives compliant and on spec.
Typical scenario: A European distributor acquires North American rights to an independent feature. The producer has locked picture but has no delivery experience. Carbon Arc steps in to manage the producer's post-production, assemble the full deliverables package, and deliver directly to the distributor's specifications.
Producers Post-Deal
You've closed a distribution deal, domestic or international, and now need to deliver a compliant package. You may not have the team, the technical knowledge, or the bandwidth to handle legal delivery, physical delivery, QC, and platform-specific formatting.
Typical scenario: An independent producer signs with a sales agent after a festival premiere. The distributor's delivery requirements list runs 40 items. Carbon Arc manages the entire delivery process, from DCP mastering to chain-of-title documentation to final QC clearance.
