Licensing

From screener to signed licence

What to clarify between a first viewing and a film licensing agreement.

The Licensing Journey: From first viewing to the right agreement. Energy2Karma editorial cover.

Liking a film and being able to license it are separate stages of the same conversation.

Screen with a purpose

Use a private screener to assess editorial fit. Keep it within the approved evaluation team and share feedback that identifies the titles you want to pursue.

Check the exact grant

Confirm rights, countries, language versions, exclusivity, licence term and any existing holdbacks. A trailer page or screener does not itself grant permission to distribute.

Agree delivery and commercials

Document the deliverables, acceptance process, fees and reporting obligations in the agreement before planning the release.

Find content for your audience.

Explore trailers, create a shortlist and share your acquisition brief.
