BookShorts on the Airwaves

For Broadcasters, Distributors and Retailers

BookShort's goal is to create properties that can be delivered many times over many media platforms, including television, broadband networks and the Internet, on the big screen in theatres, CD-ROM and DVD collections, interactive digital TV and more.

The visibility afforded each BookShort project is proportionally much higher because it is supported by marketing and publicity surrounding the book release. Of course, books have a very long shelf life, which extends to the short film as well.

Broadband entertainment, online social networks and digital television channels are well positioned to leverage the advantages of BookShorts media, while at the same time creating extensive sales and merchandising opportunities. Mobile devices are the next frontier. 

If you are a retailer, broadcaster or distributor looking for content that has high consumer appeal, join our forward-thinking partners.

General Licensing FAQs

Each broadcast partner will have specific requirements, however these FAQs will address the most basic.
  • BookShorts owns all necessary clearances, copywrite and permissions to syndicate content to broadcasters.
  • All licenses are non-exclusive, unless media is specifically commissioned for the broadcast partner
  • All media is available in several formats of broadcast quality, including Digibeta, BetaSP, Mini-DV and digital files in a range of compresssion specifications
  • Individual films and features often have alternate versions, i.e. different durations, with or without closed captioning, altered for family viwewing, etc. Please ask if you see a project that may be of interest in a modified form.
  • BookShorts is continually producing, and we have a library of interviews and footage that may not have been used in a final cut posted in our catalogue; if you are interested in a specific artist, publisher or organization, we may have media available.
