Unlocking new opportunities in film production

The world of film production is evolving. Today, older titles hold immense value for commercial reuse, whether through theatrical re-releases, licensing to streaming platforms, creating new cuts, or packaging collections for global distribution. DAMsmart partners with production companies and rights holders, including Umbrella Entertainment and See-Saw Films, to revitalise catalogues, ensuring film assets are ready to generate new revenue and reach new audiences.
