Plan de réinvestissement en faveur de films européens présenté par la société de distribution UPPER ROOM

ended

"UPPER ROOM is a French Distribution cinematographic and audiovisual company created in 2015 by Hubert de Torcy. The company has distributed more than a hundred films, including 30 theatrical films that have accumulated more than 700,000 admissions. UPPER ROOM has been working with the international market since its creation in order to bring non-national works to French audiences. It is the only company in France dedicated to inspirational movies. The company is willing to reinvest in non-national European films and to participate in a better circulation of European works on the European and French territory. Between 2020 and 2021, UPPER ROOM released three non-national European films in theaters. We plan to distribute at least 3 European films for the year 2022 for which we already have contractual commitments or are in negotiations. In the future, this rhythm of 3 European films distributed per year is really an axis that we want to maintain and maybe increase, if the market allows it. The company focuses the distribution of its films around 5 windows : Theaters, E-Cinema, DVD, TVOD/SVOD and TV. In 2021, UPPER ROOM launched its streaming platform ""Lefilmchretien.fr"" which provides access to more than 150 movies on an unlimited basis. Our goal is to promote European films that fit into our editorial line, but that will enable our audience to discover another type of cinema, more specific to each country, both in the creative aspects and in the way of treating the subjects. We distributed in the past some italian comedies which pleased a lot to our french audience, even if humor has not the same rules in distinct countries. We think that there are really communities of people in France who are interested in this type of European cinema, that's why we have good hopes for the results of these films and hope for 25 000 and 30 000 admissions for each of them minimum.
