Sideways Film is a documentary distribution company that specialises in worldwide Broadcast, DVD, Educational, Online and in-flight sales. We work closely with our producers to ensure that every title offers a unique perspective and gets the attention it deserves. We can advise on issues from technical specifications to content style to best cater to documentary buyers worldwide, and we make it our business to know every slot available in order to pitch your films where they will be noticed.

We believe that a documentary is not just a news item but a source of understanding, education and empathy, as well as entertainment. That’s why we continue to market our films for as long as there are territories available and the subject matter is relevant – your film won’t get lost in our catalogue. We also believe that the relationship between the producer and distributor should be open, co-operative and transparent. At Sideways Film, we won’t make unrealistic promises to get you to sign on the dotted line, and you will never get a royalty statement only to find that “Miscellaneous Marketing Costs” have been deducted.

We are always on the lookout for great new titles to represent across the whole spectrum of genres, and will not discriminate on the grounds of content, but on quality. We attend major and minor documentary festivals year long to meet with buyers and directors / producers so please get in touch to arrange a meeting.
