Understanding exclusive and non-exclusive relationships is crucial for filmmakers navigating the industry. An exclusive relationship typically occurs when a company pays you upfront for your film, common in Hollywood. This payment often comes with the stipulation that you enter an exclusive agreement, restricting your film from being streamed on other platforms. This model provides immediate financial compensation but limits distribution options.

​

In contrast, a non-exclusive relationship allows you to distribute your film across multiple venues without restrictions. We recommend only agreeing to an exclusive relationship if a company or distributor pays you upfront for the rights to license and rebroadcast your content, ensuring financial security while retaining some control over your film’s distribution.

 

By strategically choosing your distribution model and leveraging the flexibility offered by platforms like OPPRIME.tv, you can effectively navigate the complex landscape of film distribution and maximize your film’s success.
