Filmhub Expands Global Distribution with Roku Partnership
Film distribution disruptor Filmhub signs deal with Roku, expanding opportunities for its filmmakers.
SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 9, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Filmhub, the dynamic disruptor in the film distribution space, is thrilled to announce they have signed a distribution agreement with Roku, Inc., making its content available on The Roku Channel, the home of free and premium entertainment on the Roku® platform. This agreement will provide an additional opportunity for selections from Filmhub's 10,000+ title library to secure additional reach and monetization.
Filmhub is the fastest-growing online distribution solution for filmmakers and channel buyers. "By removing the roadblocks to distribution," Alan d'Escragnolle, CEO and co-founder of Filmhub, says, "we bring powerful, imaginative, insightful, and entertaining content to audiences worldwide. Due to entry barriers to the tightly controlled marketplace, these projects would otherwise be likely unavailable. Whether a feature film, documentary, television series or short film, Filmhub puts the power of distribution in the filmmaker's hands. Now with The Roku Channel, we can reach even further."
