Independent Film Acquisitions & Distribution Partnerships

Your film is finished. Your distribution journey doesn’t have to be.

Every year, independent filmmakers complete feature films that struggle to secure meaningful distribution. Some premiere at film festivals but leave without a distribution agreement. Others feature recognizable actors, earn critical attention, or develop an audience but still struggle to find a commercial path forward.

Sycamore Entertainment Group (SEGI) is selectively evaluating completed independent films for potential acquisition and distribution opportunities.

Rather than relying exclusively on traditional studio distribution models, SEGI works with distribution partners to explore release strategies suited to individual films.

What We Look For

SEGI is interested in evaluating completed independent feature films with identifiable commercial or audience potential.

Projects of interest may include:

• Completed feature films seeking distribution

• Films that premiered at festivals but remain without a distribution agreement

• Independent films featuring recognizable actors

• Genre films with identifiable audiences

• Films whose existing distribution arrangements have expired or whose rights have reverted to their owners

• Projects with compelling marketing opportunities or underserved audiences

Each project is evaluated individually. Submission does not guarantee acquisition, financing, or distribution.

Our Approach to Film Acquisition

We believe a film’s commercial opportunity should not end when its festival run does.

SEGI evaluates selected projects based on their audience potential, available distribution rights, marketing opportunities, and commercial viability.

Where appropriate, SEGI may pursue acquisition arrangements and work with third-party distribution partners to explore theatrical, digital, transactional video-on-demand, and streaming opportunities.

The structure of any acquisition or release arrangement depends on the individual film, available rights, financing, and participating partners.

Why Work With SEGI?

A Selective Approach

We focus on identifying films with a potential path to market rather than accepting every submission.

Distribution Partnerships

SEGI works with third-party distribution partners to explore release opportunities appropriate to selected projects.

Commercial Positioning

Our evaluation considers not only the film itself but also its audience, marketing potential, recognizable talent, and possible routes to monetization.
