What is an Aggregator?

An aggregator is a company that handles the technical and administrative work of getting your film onto major VOD platforms — encoding, metadata, contracts, and delivery. Unlike distributors, they don't acquire rights or ownership of your film. You stay in control and can usually end the relationship at will. The trade-off: marketing and audience-building remain entirely on you.

Fee-Based
