Indie Film Weekly is now offering filmmakers a new way to promote their films directly to a highly engaged independent film audience.

The newsletter reaches more than 7,000 subscribers, including filmmakers, producers, distributors, sales agents, festival professionals, and independent film fans. Our current open rate is approximately 59%, which means a typical issue is opened by more than 4,000 readers every week.

For films currently in release, preparing for release, playing festivals, crowdfunding, or available on TVOD or AVOD platforms, we now offer Sponsored Spotlight placements in the newsletter.

These are not traditional banner ads. Each Spotlight is a clean, editorial-style sponsored feature designed to fit naturally within the Indie Film Weekly format. All placements are clearly identified as sponsored.

The goal is simple: give your film a credible, targeted push in front of an audience already interested in discovering independent films.

• Single Sponsored Spotlight: $200
  One placement in one weekly issue. Good for a festival screening, trailer launch, release reminder, crowdfunding campaign, or general awareness push.

• Launch Month Campaign: $650
  One placement per week for four consecutive weeks. Ideal for a theatrical opening, digital release, festival run, or campaign where repeated visibility matters.

• TVOD Window Campaign: $950
  Six placements across 90 days, running every other week. Designed for films available to rent or purchase on Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home, Google TV, YouTube, and similar platforms..

• AVOD Long-Tail Campaign: $850
  Six placements across six months, running once per month. Designed for films available on Tubi, Pluto TV, Plex, The Roku Channel, and other free streaming platforms.

We can also offer a dedicated email to the full subscriber list for a larger announcement, including a release date, crowdfunding deadline, festival premiere, or “now streaming” campaign. Dedicated emails will be limited to protect the value of the list and avoid overwhelming subscribers.

Sponsored placements do not guarantee rentals, purchases, festival interest, distribution offers, or press coverage. They are designed to build awareness, generate traffic, and place your film in front of a focused independent film audience.

For the right film at the right moment, this can be a cost-effective way to support a release or promotional campaign.
