Every independent filmmaker is familiar with the vicious cycle. They make the movie, participate in film festivals, don’t get picked, sign distribution contracts that will steal their data and money and watch them lose the movie without any audience or explanation of why. Nestack breaks the cycle by simply allowing them to upload their title and its associated assets using an efficient ingestion process. It then provides them with a ready distribution package, which comes with quality control checks and testing, metadata optimization, and an automated AI-powered QC checklist to ensure that their movie finds its audience when the time is right.
All they need to do is outline their distribution strategy, and the platform will provide the structure with different iterations of the asset, approval process, multichannel publication, and finally an interactive movie watching experience according to how the filmmaker would want them to publish the content. By employing OpenAI technology for metadata recommendations and logline generation as well as Gemini Image Generation to create posters and social cards, the platform understands the true soul of the movie being distributed.
EPK to Landing Page
In almost all independent movies, one can find an Electronic Press Kit lying around in some folder. With Altavoz’s module from Nestack, this old fashioned press kit becomes dynamic and trackable. The creator uploads EPK content synopsis, director biography, actors’ credentials, images, trailers, and press testimonials and the platform combines it together into a completely branded landing page within a matter of minutes.
All outgoing links contain a UTM parameter and referral code, which helps understand how the conversion process takes place, from the Instagram post, through signup to viewing. Depending on the channel the visitors were referred through for example, via an email from the programer of some film festival, hub share from a curator, and a referral link from the participants the entries will be identified with a certain accuracy. This way, the independent filmmaker will get something he has never had before: a complete map of viewer acquisitions.
Curator Hubs, Events and Rewards
It is important to understand who saw the movie. It is even more important to understand how they came there, which event made them see a movie, and which referral chain made them go to that particular event. Nestack’s Curator module offers a solution for filmmakers by providing the Hubs where the audiences can be accumulated, Events with a schedule of showings and discussions, and after-event analysis, showing the number of participants who actually attended a showing and completed the film watching.
Rewarding audiences is easy now thanks to the Rewards Wallet solution from Nestack. Users receive points based on engagement events that include completing the viewing of the movie, attending a showing, or referring another user. Every time the points get accumulated, there is an immutable entry on a ledger listing a particular source of points accumulation. Rewarding means providing access to movies or invitations to upcoming events. Administrators have an option to export the entire list of entries in the rewards wallet for a selected date, title, or referral code.
