Distribution

Theatrical
We will use all of our domestic and international distribution and broadcast contacts and feel very comfortable that we will gain several non exclusive distribution deals as Duststorm Productions has successfully done with their other films. We will have Sony Pictures review the film for theatrical consideration. Regardless, we have a very solid distribution and broadcast plan that includes an independent theatrical distribution company.

DVD Sales
We are aggressively pursuing distribution with rental stores, website, churches, etc. With such the huge demand of Christian films, many rental stores have allocated individual sections catering to this market.

  • Blockbuster has a section for Christian films, comedy, ministries, etc. Some studios have also created pacific departments to meet this huge demand. To name a few, Fox Studios created Fox Faith; and Maverick Entertainment as a division called Maverick Spirit. The DVD release of The Passion of the Christ by Fox had the second highest DVD sales in history.

  • We also have the intent of working with the largest African American Christian publishing and communication company in the mid-west, Urban Ministries, Inc. U.M.I. has a distribution of over 40,000 African American churches throughout the mid-west. We’ve met with them on several occasions and they've agreed to the sale of DVD’s through their existing distribution. We're looking forward to a long lasting relationship with U.M.I. and its network of African American churches.

Cable Television
Another venue for The Prodigal Son is cable television. The unique aspect of this film is its secular appeal. Unlike other Christian films, The Prodigal Son is edgy enough to appear on HBO or ShowTime and the film's biblically based plot makes it suitable for Christian cable channels we intend to pursue, such as:

  • TLN which offers television programming that is set apart from today's cluttered channels by entertaining, educating, and empowering viewers to live a full and enriched life.

  • TBN which is the world’s largest religious network and America’s most watched faith channel offering 24 hours of commercial-free inspirational programming that appeals to people in a wide variety of Protestant, Catholic, and Messianic Jewish denominations.

  • TV One is a new cable/satellite television network with programming primarily to African American adults and offers a broad range of lifestyle and entertainment-oriented programming that respects their values and reflects their intellectual and cultural diversity.

Christian Satellite
We anticipate The Prodigal Son being picked up by these all-Christian satellite services, thereby, generating extra revenues:

  • Sky Angel is an all-Christian satellite dish service available in the 48 Continental United States and some United States territories in the Caribbean.

  • DayStar is another such service offering Christian films, programs, and ministries 24/7 (24 hours per day and 7 days per week) to the Christian community worldwide.

Video Games
With the don of the video game area, many movies are converted into games. With exciting boxing scenes, street elements, and a high-rise takeover, The Prodigal Son has the making for an awesome video game. We are currently consulting with a number of people in this billion-dollar industry.

  • Left Behind Games was founded on October 23, 2001 for the purpose of developing Christian Video and PC Games based upon the world-renowned Christian series, Left Behind, which continues to be one of the top-selling fiction series of all time.
