Landmark Film Searchlight is an innovative distribution subsidiary ofLandmark Film Company, providing young independent filmmakers the marketing and sales tools necessary to distribute their films in by-passing traditional distribution outlets.
Our service provides independent filmmakers direct accessibility to all the services of a professional theatrical release. We deliver everything your film needs, from access to the right theatres in all major markets to custom crafting the marketing, publicity and advertising campaigns.
How it works 
We help students act as their own distributor. They choose the cinemas. They control the advertising therefore controlling their own future.
The filmmaker pays an upfront fee that covers all distribution costs (marketing, advertising and publicity). Securing a one-week run in at least five markets, the filmmaker keeps all of the box office receipts and retains all rights to their film.
Our main aim is to enable filmmakers who are still in full time education, to retain control over all rights and decisions relating to their films and to create a new approach for them in distributing their movies. We see this as a crucial way around the traditional distributions system.
