BFD know that the most cost effective way of raising awareness of a film is to release it theatrically embracing all regional and national press who need to review every movie, every week. BFD is owned by film producers. We understand the need of fellow film makers to have their film released in cinemas and the compromise on upfront fees they will make to achieve that. Our default is a 15 year licence, no advance. costs off the top, 50/50% split.
