Through these experiences and the ultimate forming of FFI, Leif has developed a proven model for any filmmaker seeking to distribute their product that will maximize returns for any film represented, while avoiding the costly mistake of finding a distribution company that may not be the best fit for your film.

When Mark and Leif Jumped on board our film, “Black Widows”, things finally started moving. They guided us into exactly the distribution we’d hoped for, but couldn’t get our foot in the door ourselves to get. They not only know the ins and outs everyone else does, but they have some tricks up their sleeves and are constantly exploring new avenues of revenue–Brilliant advisres about what’s needed for your filom to market it to its best advantage.

[First Focus’] dedication led to sales I couldn’t have dreamed of.  [They are] now my first choice for shepherding films through the marketplace

Arnon Z. Shorr

Writer/Director, OxRock Productions

Instantly, we saw things finally start happening. FFI began getting the film on different platforms, which generated some revenue. It’s not just their extensive knowledge in the market, but also their insistent professionalism that really supported us through this treacherous road of distribution.’

Ismet Kurtulus

‘First Focus International… truly believe(s) in and supports quality independent films — They were willing to go above and beyond to include my film, Good Guys With Guns, in a sales agreement with DirecTV .’

Jordan Ancel

Writer/Director, "Good Guys with Guns"

‘Mark and Leif have real attention to detail, knowledge of the business, and a passion for film, that has benefited us greatly [to] finally get our film in front of the right distributors.’

David Paladino

Producer, "Deceived"

Our film, “Deceived”, is currently on the shelves at Walmart, is available to stream through Amazon and is expanding to other distribution channels.  [First Focus International’s] honesty, preparation and drive to get your film out there can be hard to find in this business.  We highly recommend First Focus International!
