Indie Rights has been in business since 2000 and is a full service, global distributor with direct relationships to major distribution outlets.  Based on the experience of it's founders, Linda Nelson and Michael Madison, the need for a new type of distribution for truly independent films is evident.  Thousands of great independent films are made each year and never find an audience.  They play at film festivals all over the world and are never discovered by the sales agents and distributors that frequent only the top tier festivals such as Sundance, Toronto  and Cannes.  These festivals used to be filled with fresh original voices from new talent, but now act as marketing vehicles for "classic divisions" of major studios or showcases for already established actors, directors and producers.  Film Markets like AFM and Cannes are too costly and complex for most independent filmmakers to attend, but Indie Rights attends AFM and Cannes as an Exhibitor and can represent your film to international buyers.  We are also members of IFTA, the International Film and Television Alliance, the primary global distributors trade association. 

​

Our global distribution contract is filmmaker-friendly, returning 80% of all revenue earned to the filmmaker. We charge no up-front fees or expenses, provide transparent quarterly reporting  and we work with all our filmmakers to educate them about the use of the most innovative marketing and social media tools available for marketing independent film.  We also support a private group of filmmakers that are committed to supporting each other.

Are You Still in the Concept & Development Stages of Your Project?
If you’re still in the concept or development phase of your film, TV series, or documentary, you’re not too early to start thinking about distribution—in fact, now is the perfect time. At Think Global Media Group, we specialize in helping creators shape projects from the ground up, ensuring that your final product is market-ready and distribution-compliant from the start.

Many filmmakers wait until after production to consider sales and delivery, only to discover their project lacks the structure, format, or technical elements required by today’s platforms. That’s why we offer full-service support through every stage of production—from pre-production planning to on-site execution and post-production finishing.

Pre-Production Support
Our team works with you during development to align your creative vision with market demands. We help you craft a strategic plan, including budgeting, scheduling, location scouting, casting, crew coordination, and equipment sourcing. We also assist in preparing network-ready pitch materials, production decks, and financing plans that support long-term distribution goals.

On-Site Production Services
When it’s time to shoot, Think Global Media Group provides experienced crews and logistical support to keep your project running smoothly. From cinematographers and field producers to drone pilots, sound techs, and production managers, we ensure that every moment is captured at the highest quality. We also manage permits, travel, and safety to reduce risk and keep your shoot on schedule and on budget.

Post-Production & Delivery
Once filming wraps, our in-house post team takes over with editing, color grading, sound design, VFX, captions, and mastering. We deliver final versions that meet the exacting standards of SVOD, AVOD, TVOD, and linear broadcast networks, so your content is ready for distribution worldwide. We also handle subtitling, metadata, and multiple format outputs to ensure your project is compliant across all platforms.

 

From the earliest creative spark to the final delivery package, Think Global Media Group is your trusted partner in developing, producing, and distributing content that sells.
