Distribution : Anyone using Filmhub to sell through Prime? by Mike Boas

Anyone using Filmhub to sell through Prime?

I’m considering using Filmhub on my latest feature. One of the things they tout is how using them as a pass-though for Prime Video gives you the option of selling in foreign markets that are not open to you if you deal with Prime directly.

Has anyone here done this?

One thing that gives me pause is that I’m not sure if I would need ALL of my foreign language captions submitted up front or if I could add them later. Filmhub is fuzzy on this.

I have used FilmHub before, and they are reputable. Using FilmHub for Prime has some advantages depending on your film and the genre. If you definitely want your film to be considered in foreign markets, then pick 3-4 languages upfront and complete the captions beforehand, especially the languages that align with Prime. ( ie, Spanish, German, Japanese, French, Portuguese) If you pass QC you should be good. Best of luck.

Thanks Joe. Do you know this from experience? Someone else told me Filmhub doesn’t handle foreign captions well (doesn’t submit or screws it up).
