Become a Reframe Partner

Reframe invites filmmakers, distributors, archives, and other content owners to become partners.  Some benefits of Reframe:

  • Non-exclusive: Reframe is non-exclusive, allowing partners to continue distributing content directly or through alternative outlets;
  • Free to low-cost digitization: Digitization from a video or DVD source is provided at little to no cost and a wide variety of formats can be supported. This is an excellent solution for any artist or organization with content “stuck on the shelf”;
  • Digital formats: Reframe currently allows partners to distribute work through these methods:
    • DVD-on-demand. An on-demand purchase model removes the need to maintain costly inventory.  All DVDs are packaged in Amaray cases with a full color wrap and disc face.  Packaging and shipping to customers are at no cost to Reframe partners.
    • Digital Video on Demand Purchase. Customers may stream or download programs for viewing on a variety of devices.
    • Digital Video on Demand Rental. Partners can set the rental parameters so that a file will expire after a certain period of time.
  • Variable pricing: For each title, partners have the ability to set numerous purchase and rental prices to accommodate the educational market and/or individual consumers. More importantly, we’ve tiered your return so that you get back greater percentages on higher price points for the educational market.
  • Robust discovery platform: Reframe allows users to easily find specific titles, filmmakers or distributors, as well as browse to discover new works. Our curation model is building Reframe’s reputation as a trusted source for hard to find films.  As the site grows, Reframe will become an online community where people can share, discuss and connect around films within the system.
  • Competitive royalty rates and collective bargaining power: Reframe has negotiated a competitive roy alty rate with its current partner, Amazon. We will continue to pursue deals with additional commercial platforms, which content partners may opt-in on a case by case basis. Aggregation of content allows for additional deals to be made at rates more favorable than individual filmmakers or distributors would be able to secure alone.
