THE MISSION of STORY MODE STUDIOS
The future belongs to human creativity. We are here to deliver fresh, original and authentic stoires from new filmmakers from all walks of life to the largest showcases in the world.
HOW DO WE do THAT?
The only thing needed for a film to succeed is an audience planning to go see it.
While studios continue to throw thoughtless money at consumers to get them to the theater, we create a new integrated distribution story allowing for direct connection between the filmmakers and their fans and patrons.
We are building a network of film lovers and creating exclusive content for them to watch to connect with the film's story and creators. In turn, the audience doesn’t just get to go to the movie in the theater, but they get to interact with the creation and distribution of the film by following it’s journey.
THE HARD TRUTH
Hundreds of incredible independent films that could bring in millions of dollars at the domestic box office alone are lost because they just lack the start-up capital and exposure. It’s just a matter of breaking the gravity of an antiquated distribution system.
The ANTIDOTE already exists.
The rules are already changing and the tides have shifted. After the pandemic theaters learned that they can’t count on studios alone. They have opened up dozens of additional revenue streams and alternative screening opportunities. At the same time an entire generation of filmgoers raised connecting with internet celebrities are now the main market for tickets, subscriptions and movie sales. The market is open minded and ready to completely change which movies are allowed break the gravity of the theater system.
As film lovers and theater goers we can unite together. Across the world thousands of film clubs, movie nights, festivals and societies gather to watch indie films small and large… ish. Now it’s finally a perfect time to combine efforts and change the movie industry. Joining the film communities around the world we can select and publish the best indie films in the world.
THEATERGOERS NOW GET to PICK THEIR MOVIES.
We already go to the movies. We gather on the weekends and at special events to watch unique films and discuss them with the creators. We are not alone. We hold the power to support and champion new and original stories. When a filmmaker takes a risk to tell a compelling fresh story, we hold the power to get that film seen by making an effort to gather our community together and participate in that film.
Local Film festivals and Cinema Clubs Level up their game.
Running a local event can be monumentally difficult. Access + funding create a full-time job. By scaling local organizations into a larger nationwide event you change the game for the unsung heroes and film promoters around the country.
Independent Filmmakers can actually keep making art!
EXPLOITED. That’s what the current distribution market offers. It’s not scalable, it’s not sustainable. Instead, when a film follows this unique and powerful distribution plan, the filmmakers can get a return on their investment and keep creating fresh, original, and authentic content. They get to connect with fans and patrons and grow the artistic dialogue.
