What is the percentage breakdown?
First, consider what percentage goes to the sales agent or distributor and what percentage goes to you, the filmmaker or filmmakers.
The standard commission for a film sales agent is around 25%. This commission can be negotiated up or down depending on the situation. For example, if someone offers you a commission of more than 60% (60% goes to the agent and 40% goes to you), it might be worth trying to negotiate it.
At the same time, there may be foreign sales when the distributor takes your film to market (at in-person events), and these expenses cover the cost of printing ads, posters and other promotional materials. The distributor will deduct all of these expenses from the revenue.
What is the spending limit?
It's important to negotiate a deal that helps you keep your expenses down. You and the distributor can avoid surprises and awkward conversations by setting a spending cap. A spending cap sets the maximum amount the distributor can spend without getting your approval.
How long is the license valid?
How long is your film distribution contract? It's long-term, about 15 years. Sometimes that can be a little scary because you're committing to the distribution agent for such a long time. And what if it doesn't work out?
Do you know how you get out of that contract? What if it doesn't work out in the short term, like one, two, three years? If you don't want to renew the contract with the sales agent, a distributor, the thing is, you may still have a term for the film after the contract has expired.
