We work with filmmakers and brands to create bespoke Impact Distribution Strategies that aim to balance purpose & profit. Each proposal is customized to the needs of the team, their current stage, and fundraising needs (if required). This work may include elements such as:
Think of it like the pre-production phase for your film’s distribution and marketing plan – what are your objectives, what are your goals, and when do you want to achieve them? Are you seeking support with your goals and require strategy support? We have 4 packages to choose from, ranging from 1 – 4 months of support.
Together Films can offer a variety of services (copywriting, design, and technical support) for a range of materials that can amplify your campaigns including Screening Resources Guides and Educational Guides.
Our screening resource guides include further reading on each film’s issues and themes, and tangible ways to take further action after attending a film screening. They are designed to help screening hosts and audiences engage with our films on a deeper level, feel empowered to have meaningful and productive conversations, and turn those conversations into positive action.
We develop impact educational resources that inform and inspire so that screening hosts and audiences leave screenings with further insight and tangible action steps. We can match these to curriculum-specific requirements & learning objectives if needed.

Producer, An Army of Women
“Together Films has been a wonderful and dedicated partner as we develop our impact strategy for our documentary An Army of Women.
We have been fortunate enough to begin thinking about impact at an early stage of the film, and Sarah and her talented team have helped us navigate and position our film for both impact and distribution, building on their vast network within the documentary space.
We feel lucky to get to work with such a thoughtful, forward-thinking, and strategic team, and look forward to bringing the film to the world with their help.”
We produce and support hundreds of events each year, ranging from high-profile policy engagement opportunities to grassroots activist mobilizations. Our screenings and events are curated events, featuring leading speakers from the film and impact community, taking place predominantly across the US, UK, and wider Europe.
Our team can deliver both in-person and virtual events using the latest technologies. In order to deliver the most impact at each event our team can help you to:
We support awards campaigns that combine impact potential with prestige positioning. The additional visibility that an awards campaign can bring to an impact campaign is huge. We help you to balance both objectives the right way, with expertise in the US, UK, and wider Europe.

Joshua Seftel
Director, Stranger At The Gate
“We engaged Together Films late in our campaign cycle to provide a last push to ensure that our film was in front of voters ready for the Oscar nomination weekend. We were extremely impressed with the speed at which Sarah and her team jumped into action, supporting our on-the-ground needs in London & Europe to ensure our US production was being discussed in the right rooms.
They helped source campaign materials, sent out communications to their wide networks, and drafted social media activations for our lead supporters including Malala. We are grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone navigating the awards process next season.”
Stranger At The Gate was nominated for Best Documentary Short at the 2023 Oscars.
You can watch it via The New Yorker today.

“The strategy advice that we received from Together Films was transformational in terms of how we saw the growth opportunities for Earthrise Studio. Sarah helped to layout potential new content verticals we could be delivering, and how to scale our operations in a sustainable way.
As a new company, the strategic thinking from Together Films informed the launch of our new website and opened our eyes to new ways of monetizing the business. We are forever grateful to Sarah and the team for providing guidance during our formational years so that Earthrise can continue to deliver climate communications that inspire, inform, and educates the exciting community of new climate leaders that we are building.”
