Hello Filmmakers, My name is Rob Mankowitz and I was the casting dir. and a producer of the indie film "The Utopian Society" starring Malin Akerman. We were in more than 40 film festivals...too long ago. My producing partner and director of the film was John P. Aguirre. We are still collaborating on indie projects. However, the big news is that we have recently broken through the "sales agent" barrier to deal DIRECTLY with arguably the largest independent video distributor in North America. They can place your film on itunes, vod, cable & other outlets. We have cultivated a strong relationship with the vp of business development of this company who has literally said we are the FIRST and only producers/filmmakers he will accept content from directly! This is called an OUTPUT deal. We have overcome the greatest obstacle in the distro game. As filmmakers who have been put through the ringer or more precisely ripped off in the past we understand how incredibly frustrating it can be to put your blood, sweat and tears into making your film with the goal of acclaim and financial reward only to find that through shady practices you end up making pennies...if that. Most sales agents who shop your film to various entities will charge upwards of 30% per sale we will be SIGNIFICANTLY lower. At this time we are seeking to partner with filmmakers who have high quality FINISHED FILMS ready for the marketplace. If you are interested in discussing our unique opportunity in greater detail please contact us via phone or email. Not through this site...        ( p:323-466-1905 or moviecritic3@yahoo.com )
