Local

A-Film is strongly connected with the Dutch filmmaking community. It works closely with the most important production companies within the local industry. Next to the distribution of commercial films, A-Film also distributes both artistic films and documentaries.

Local films are marketed not only traditionally but also with custom made social media campaigns. Sint/Saint became a media hype online first, leading to coverage on prime time TV, on air and in all other traditional media. For Sonny Boy the Facebook account was an essential part of the campaign which started the word-of-mouth. The cast of Body Language was presented to the press in the studio with a live twitter introduction feed going on at the same time. Plan C is our next social media runner up.
