Without a box
Withoutabox, Inc. is the worldwide network whose mission of advancing independent film allows 100,000 filmmakers in over 200 countries to distribute, screen, and monetize their work. The Company serves rightsholders by democratizing the tools of distribution and by creating opportunities that help them to build the largest connected audience for their work. Withoutabox's synergistic suite of tools (including two patents) organizes, for the first time in the history of the film business, an highly effective business and social environment where independent film--and, in the future, other forms of creative and intellectual media--can thrive.

By bringing filmmakers, film festivals, film buyers and film lovers together into a vertically integrated global system, Withoutabox is re-inventing a classic supply chain. This new media model provides marketing and financial opportunities to filmmakers through direct, efficient access to global markets--in sharp contrast to the traditional, top-down approach used by the major film studios.

With members ranging from first-time filmmakers to winners of the Academy Award, Withoutabox is a media company used by more independent filmmakers than any other in the world.
