While producing a film satisfies the creative urge of talented film-makers, we find that a vast majority of them are lost when it comes to showcasing their work, reaching out to a wider audience and last, but not the least, generating revenue from their films. To address this need we focussed on providing services of aggregating and distributing ‘Alternate Content’ i.e. short films and documentaries. Our access to studios, producers, independent film makers, students and aspiring film makers makes us the preferred partner for their content. Apart from the conventional distribution channels such as home videos, television, etc. we have established a robust distribution network, especially in the new media segments like internet, mobile, IPTV, DTH, etc.

1. We are amongst the top 50 channel partners for YouTube in India, with over 2.75 million video views and registering 30,000 views daily. (www.youtube.com/1takemedia.com)
2. Our 2nd channel - www.youtube.com/studentfilmsofindia is dedicated to promoting and providing greater exposure to film schools / institutes and media students by exhibiting their films
3. Our content is also available on 5 other leading video portals in India as well as a few international portals.
4. 3G services provide an exciting opportunity especially for short film and documentary makers. While our content is already available on the first 3G mobile service provider in India, it will soon be available on all major mobile networks
5. In our quest to create awareness for this genre of content, we also explore opportunities with leading home video distributors, IPTV, VOD, DTH, as well as satellite channels for exhibiting and distributing films from our library
6. Our presence at the India Film Market at Cannes and other film markets is part of our endeavour to reach out to international markets for Indian shorts and documentaries.

We share 37.50 % of the gross revenues generated from all sources / platforms with the film makers. We share at the gross level to offer complete clarity and transparency in the process. There are NO charges, hidden or otherwise, deducted from the receipts.

Apart from exhibiting and distributing the films on multiple platforms, we also provide the following services:

1. Releasing select films as “World Wide Premiere” on our channels creating a buzz and excitement around the film.
2. A one stop distribution solution provider for all mediums / platforms – Internet, Mobile, VOD, Home Video, Cable & Satellite, IPTV, DTH, etc.
