Exclusive: Producer Arihiro Wada and Director Taichi Ito have partnered on CinemaAirLane, a new international distribution platform set to launch in 2023, which will partner with international film studio Noma.
The company’s main goal will be to simplify global distribution and directly connect international filmmakers with US theatres.
In its initial phase, CinemaAirLane will enable foreign-language films (with English subtitles) or English-language films from outside the U.S. to approach U.S. theatres. The service will then expand to its more advanced concept, a system that allows streamlined distribution between filmmakers and movie theatres.
The digital platform will also feature functions that aid film marketing, including press release distribution and ad campaign planning. To use the service, films must be available with English subtitles and have a poster, finished trailer, and suitable press images.
The platform will release its beta version in 2023. Its website is now live and accepting waitlist registrations.
