About
Antenna is a full service boutique distribution company specializing in curated theatrical engagements, and robust, filmmaker-forward physical media releases.
Our mission is to challenge and redefine the current paradigm of independent film distribution through close relationships with filmmakers. We highlight fairness, transparency, and a motivating desire to put the art and artists front and center.
At Antenna, you’ll find a team of filmmakers, producers, and creatives with decades of experience in all aspects of exhibition; experience which makes us particularly poised to embrace aspects of distribution that work and upend those aspects that do not— not for filmmakers, and not for the industry.
We are your partners, not your bosses.
We prioritize trust over percentages.
We want to go on the ride right alongside you.

Ready to chat about your film release?
Antenna is always looking for exciting new voices in film to champion. As a small, boutique operation committed to the personal curation of each and every film we distribute, we maintain a modest slate of releases each year. This means we can't work with everyone whose work we admire. If you have a work you think will make an impression on us, reach out, and we’ll take a look!
