Working principles
House styleAcquisition logic over taste
Every entry should answer the question: why did this distributor buy this film at this price.
Position before product
Films are sold on positioning, not on synopsis. Each record captures the angle the distributor will lead with.
Comparables, not adjectives
Reference titles do more work than descriptors. Three sharp comparables outperform a paragraph of summary.
