Open Circle partners with creatives, and we want to hear from you.
Filmmakers
Open Circle partners with creatives, and we want to hear from you.
We handle the business work, and support your vision so you can focus on telling your story.
We're Here for You
Your film takes all your attention. We know, we’ve been there.
And then there’s all the non-film work that still needs to be done: funding, business logistics, distribution, marketing. It’s a lot, especially when you’re focused on telling your story.
That’s where Open Circle can help.
Partnership
We team-up with filmmakers like you and handle work like investor conversations, or marketing strategy - whatever pulls you away from your story.
Distribution
From the start, we plan for your creative concept to be produced, gain distribution, and reach an audience. We want your voice to be heard.
Investment
In most cases, we’re paid based on a project’s success rather than through upfront fees, so we’re invested in helping your film succeed.
How We Help
Every project is different, and our involvement is shaped by your film and your needs. Here are a few ways that we can support.
Early Support
We engage with projects early, often before development begins, though every project is different.
Creative Collaboration
We offer thoughtful feedback on story, central themes, and all creative aspects — a partner you can turn to for ideas and problem solving.
Filmmaking Community
We give you access to a broader network of filmmakers and collaborators to build your team.
Funding & Investors
We help you build connections with investors who care, and navigate through finance conversations.
Business & Administrative
We help with planning, coordination, contracts, timelines, and the operational details that can pull you away from your creative work.
Distribution Planning
We start work on distribution, and marketing early, so the film has a clearer path to its audience once post production is finished.
Partner With Us
Our model works best when there’s a clear audience, a strong story, shared values, and room for partnership. If you see a viable path to market for your film but the project feels bigger than what you can take on alone—if you’d welcome support with fundraising and investment and are open to sharing in the upside of its success, then Open Circle may be right for you.
If you're interested in collaborating, please reach out. We'd love to hear from you.
