Xil Rowe Media offers professional Video On Demand distribution services for independent filmmakers and content creators. To ensure your work is presented at the highest quality, please review the following requirements before submission.

Rights & Legal Clearances

You must have all necessary rights to distribute your work. This includes music licensing, location clearances, and signed personnel releases for anyone appearing in your film. Since your work will be sold commercially, comprehensive releases are mandatory for all on-screen talent and identifiable individuals.

Video File Preparation

Before submission, ensure your video file is properly compressed and formatted for both standard and 360 video formats. High-quality source files ensure the best viewing experience across all devices. We will provide detailed technical specifications upon acceptance.

Compelling Thumbnail

Your thumbnail is a critical first impression. Choose a striking frame from your work that represents its essence, or upload a custom thumbnail. The thumbnail should be visually engaging and accurately reflect your content to attract potential viewers.

Poster Artwork

Create a powerful poster using simple colors and images that represent your work and capture attention. The aspect ratio should be 27 × 40 pixels (width by height), with the largest display size being 275 × 407 pixels on Vimeo On Demand.

Promotional Trailer

A great trailer is essential for driving purchases. It can be a compelling scene from your work or a custom-edited montage. Keep it concise—trailers should never exceed two minutes. Make every second count to hook potential viewers and showcase your film's unique qualities.

Bonus Features

Bonus content gives audiences more value and increases purchase motivation. Consider including behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, director commentary, or cast interviews. Bonus features also make excellent promotional materials for marketing campaigns.

Strategic Pricing

Price your work competitively. Consider what you would personally pay for similar content. Lower price points often result in higher purchase volumes, while premium pricing works for niche audiences and high-production-value content. We'll consult with you to find the optimal pricing strategy.

Tagging & Metadata

Proper tagging ensures your work appears in relevant search results. Include genre tags, thematic keywords, location references, and any notable elements. For example, a zombie racing film should include tags like "zombies," "racing," "horror," "action," and relevant location tags.

Working Together

We look forward to working with you. We can customize the listing for your content to help you sell it and put some money in your pockets. We know how hard it is to produce content.
