Everything you need to know
What is PowerFlix?
PowerFlix is a film distribution platform that helps filmmakers release their work to major digital platforms like Apple TV, Amazon, Vudu, InDemand, and Altavod. We also offer theatrical distribution services, including premiere planning and theater bookings.
Who is PowerFlix for?
PowerFlix is built for independent filmmakers, producers, and distributors - whether you're releasing your first short film or managing a catalog of features. Our tools scale from single projects to full production company workflows.
What does PowerFlix cost?
Our Free tier lets you distribute to all 5 platforms at no cost. Standard plans start with a small deposit and monthly or annual subscription, with annual plans saving approximately 18%. We also offer a la carte services like poster creation, trailer production, and caption files that you can add as needed. Enterprise pricing is available for studios with custom needs.
Does PowerFlix offer a free tier?
Yes. The Free tier includes distribution to all 5 supported platforms, asset uploading and management, and basic analytics. Paid tiers add features like team collaboration, priority support, and additional services.
What platforms does PowerFlix submit my film to?
We distribute to Apple TV, Amazon, Vudu, InDemand, and Altavod. Each platform has specific asset requirements (artwork dimensions, file formats) that our platform guides you through during the submission process.
How long will I wait to hear back following submission?
Our quality control team reviews submissions daily. Most projects receive an initial review within a few business days of submission. Platform-specific review times vary - Apple and Amazon typically take 1-2 weeks for approval after we submit on your behalf.
Is there a guide that can help me through the process?
Yes. Our in-app Help Guide covers every step from account creation to release, including detailed artwork specifications for each platform, technical requirements for film files, and a walkthrough of the payment and submission process. You can also reach our support team via the in-app chat.
