SUBMISSION OF CONTENT

Creators can commence the distribution journey simply by sharing the trailer, and content preview link, along with a deck if available, on our email. We accept all kinds of work across all genres. There are no constraints and limitations as such but the themes that generally tend to work and appeal to large audiences include suspense thrillers, social dramas, women-centered narratives, and RomComs.

[We love details! So tell us everything.] We suggest you provide us with the deck of details along with the film. Information regarding cast, crew, genre, and the synopsis helps us to cater well to the audience. Creators can reach out and submit a preview link of their piece of work at thekarastudios@gmail.com & submit.kara@gmail.com. Please use the subject line: “Content Submission – [Your Content Title]-KARA Studios” or “Introducing [Your Content Title] to KARA Studios.”

EVALUATION

We believe in content that resonates with quality, originality, and authenticity. Once we receive your submission, we try to ensure that the piece of content abides by all our guidelines and standards. We assess aspects such as the originality of the content, its production quality, as well as the market potential it holds. For example, we expect that no copyrighted content is used in the film, as this would violate copyright laws on web platforms

LICENCES AND PERMISSIONS

We don’t wish to see you worry about the legalities of getting your content out there, and that is why we fully take care of the licensing aspects of your content. We acquire Perpetual Digital Rights for the content for a minimum of 10 years with a termination clause of 90 days. Once we acquire these rights all the further distribution to any platforms has to be routed via us.

DISTRIBUTION ACROSS THE PLATFORMS

KARA Studios has partnered up with Google to guarantee you a wide audience recognition. Moreover, our flagship Youtube channel ‘The Short Cuts’ |www.youtube.com/TheShortKuts, where some of the world’s best short films have been deployed, proves to be a strong medium to showcase your piece of content.

We collaborate with India’s top OTT platforms such as Hotstar, Jio Cinema, Zee5, MX Player, and Shorts TV, with the aim of bridging the gap between your creation and a global audience. Not just these platforms, but any other future OTT collaborations will automatically be a part of the deal, which means diversified audience engagement. Furthermore, our content release sequence begins with publication on our YouTube channel, followed by distribution on OTT platforms.

It is important to note here, that while we diligently manage the distribution and aim for excellence with every piece of content, the special right of acceptance or refusal stays vested with the specific OTT platforms. Our collaborative approach respects their discerning selection, facilitating impactful and honest distribution.

MARKETING AND PROMOTION

At KARA Studios, we are firm advocates of fostering organic content growth. Our approach is centred around facilitating connections with vendors on an actual cost basis, ensuring transparency and fairness throughout the process. While a marginal distribution fee is involved, rest assured that the cost of distribution is intricately tied to the quality of the film. We believe in tailoring our distribution efforts to enhance your content’s reach while maintaining a symbiotic relationship between quality and investment.

This is where we leverage the extensive network and collaborations that we have built over the years. Our vast distribution network sets a perfect stage to maximize the reach of your content.
