Flat fee distribution company Backlot Studios launches with Richard Gray’s Blinder
A new company has launched into the Australian film distribution sector charging producers a flat fee for its service.
The model varies from a typical film distribution company which takes a percentage of box office revenue.
The Melbourne-based Backlot Studios is led by directors Tony Ianiro and Mark D’Angelo, both most recently of Paramount Pictures.
The company’s first film will be director Richard Gray’s Aussie Rules-based film Blinder. It opens on March 7.
