Remote-first

We are obsessive about quality—the quality of our catalog, our clients, our service, and, most importantly, our team. We are remote-first because it allows us to pursue the highest-quality talent wherever they are.

Remote-first has a bunch of advantages:

• We can hire amazing people from a global talent pool.
• Being remote encourages a deeper level of personal thought and writing things down.
• It allows for uninterrupted work.
• It naturally leads to a more diverse, worldly team.
• It makes results clearer, which helps us hold people accountable for outcomes rather than who they schmoozed in the office.

Radically transparent

As a team committed to transparency in an opaque industry, we believe in being as open as possible. We're proud to be the only film distribution company that publicly shares its handbook—possibly the only one with a handbook at all.

Nearly everything we do, including this Handbook, is open for team members to edit or suggest changes. Anyone can give direct feedback, improving our responsiveness and feedback loops. If you want to change something, there's no need for corporate hierarchy—just suggest it, and the owner will review it.

We write things down

We're a remote-first company, allowing our team to work from almost anywhere. With members across many countries, clear communication is vital for staying connected and working efficiently.

• It promotes clear, deep thinking.
• It ensures quality by defining clear processes.
• It maintains consistency in client interactions for top-notch service.
• It's often clearer than verbal conversations, keeping everyone aligned.
• It speeds up onboarding and learning by providing a written reference.

We prioritize asynchronous communication and transparency using Notion, Linear, Slack, and Loom. Writing things down clarifies our ideas and enables better feedback, which has been crucial to our growth.
