Essential Workflows Handled by Your Film Distribution VA
Free your acquisitions executives, head of sales, and technical delivery managers from tedious clerical bottlenecks. Your VA delivers institutional accuracy across every release window.
Delivery Schedule Tracking & QC Audit Resolution
Prevent platform rejections and costly technical delays. Your VA audits delivery schedule checklists against incoming producer assets (DCP, Apple ProRes 422 HQ, 5.1/2.0 stereo audio splits, CC/SRT subtitles), catalogs QC pass/fail timecodes, and liaises directly with post-production houses to secure clean fixes.
- Technical QC report auditing & vendor remediation chasing
- Subtitle (SRT, VTT, SCC) sync verification across language tracks
Avails Management & Rights Window Tracking
Maximize your catalog's licensing yield without territorial conflicts. Your assistant updates title availability in Rightsline or FilmTrack, checks start/end dates across Theatrical, EST, TVOD, SVOD, and Free/AVOD windows, and generates clean buyer availability matrices prior to major markets (AFM, Cannes, EFM).
- EMA/EMSG standard avails spreadsheet population
- Window holdback monitoring and blackout alert tracking
Theatrical Settlement & Comscore Box Office Audits
Keep cinema circuits accountable and collect gross box office splits promptly. Your VA cross-references theater booking contracts against daily Comscore (Rentrak) box office returns, identifies reporting discrepancies, tracks exhibitor settlement statements, and logs film rental billings into your ledger.
- Comscore weekend flash estimates vs. official exhibitor settles
- KDM security key request collection and cinema server cert logging
Digital VOD Storefront Metadata & Artwork Delivery
Ensure titles launch on streaming storefronts on schedule. Your assistant formats metadata sheets (synopsis, director credits, cast, genres, MPAA/BBFC ratings), stages localized artwork in required dimensions (16:9 hero banners, 2:3 vertical posters, 1:1 icons), and monitors ingestion across Bitmax, Premiere Digital, and direct portals.
- Spec-compliant title metadata & localized synopsis ingestion
- Key art cropping, title treatment placement & banner exports
Music Cue Sheets & Legal Chain of Title Archiving
Shield your company from intellectual property disputes and downstream broadcaster rejections. Your VA audits composer cue sheets for timing and publisher percentages, uploads filings via RapidCue, verifies copyright registrations, and archives E&O insurance certificates into secure virtual data rooms.
- ASCAP, BMI & SESAC compliant music cue sheet verification
- Producer chain of title agreements & actor likeness clearance checks
Producer Royalty Accounting & P&A Recoupment
Maintain transparent, professional relationships with content licensors and filmmakers. Your VA aggregates monthly/quarterly platform revenue statements (iTunes, Amazon, Tubi, cable VOD), tracks recoupable P&A expenses, and prepares detailed waterfall distribution statements for producer sign-off.
- Multi-platform statement normalization & currency conversion
- P&A marketing expense deduction auditing & royalty payouts logging
