Who we are

Built for independent filmmakers, backed by a real distribution company.

Thousands of great independent films are made every year and never find an audience. They play festivals around the world and are never discovered by the sales agents and distributors who only frequent the top tier. Lookhu Distribution exists to change that — giving truly independent voices a real, transparent path to global audiences.

A real company

Lookhu is a live, operating business with a team and offices — not an internet experiment. We have no investors and carry no debt, so every decision is made for filmmakers, not shareholders.

Distribution opportunities

Lookhu evaluates opportunities across AVOD, TVOD, SVOD, FAST, cable, retail and international markets based on the rights available, title fit and partner requirements.

Selective on purpose

We're selective and only take films we believe our platform partners will want. That keeps our catalog strong and gives every accepted film real attention.

Industry market access

Lookhu participates in major film and television markets and uses industry relationships, catalogs and buyer outreach to pursue distribution opportunities for selected titles.

The deal

Filmmaker-friendly, from the first dollar.

Our standard plan returns 80% of eligible third-party distribution revenue to the filmmaker — Pro keeps 85%, Premier keeps 90%. Standard distribution has no up-front fee, with transparent quarterly reporting and a team that works alongside you.

FAQ

How Lookhu distribution works.

We pay our filmmakers 80% of all revenue from the first dollar earned.

We never charge expenses.

We pay quarterly, with detailed reports.

We are a real company — not an internet startup.

We have no investors and carry no debt.

We participate in major film and television markets to pursue distribution opportunities for selected titles.

We've built a private community of Lookhu filmmakers who support each other with reviews, case studies, company news and marketing tips.

We actively market selected titles on social media and through industry buyer databases like Cinando and The Film Catalog.

Where supported, we encode and deliver titles to platforms, outlets and buyers.

We publish a new catalog of our films twice annually.

We never give our movies away for free — it may be free to the public, but we're getting paid by the platform or advertisers.

There is no guarantee that any third-party platform or buyer will accept your film — platforms make their own acquisition decisions.

Paying for Pro or Premier does not guarantee acceptance by any third-party platform or buyer — paid plans offer a larger revenue share and added support, not guaranteed placement.

Film submission is always free. Pro and Premier are optional upgrades available after a title is approved.

We do not finance films.
