Film and TV

Websites for film and TV companies.

The trailer goes out, people search the title, and the site has to be there with the release date and where to watch. Title pages are built on a private copy for the distributor and legal to approve, and they go live on the minute the embargo lifts.

What we look after

What a film or TV website has to do.

Launch with the trailer

Title pages go live at the same minute as the trailer or the announcement, after the distributor and legal have signed off on the private copy.

Play the trailer from a video host

Trailers and clips play from YouTube, Vimeo or another video host, so a crowd watching doesn't land on the web server.

Give the press a kit

Stills, posters and press notes are big files, so they download from a CDN. A press area can sit behind a password until the release.

Show where to watch

Once it's out, the page links to the theaters, streaming services or stores carrying it, and we update them as the release widens.

Keep a slate of titles

A production company site lists past work and what's in development, each title with its own page and credits. We add titles when you send them.

Pass the distributor's review

A studio or distributor may send a security questionnaire. We fill it in honestly and show how the server, the backups and the logins are set up.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • The title page went live a day early because the scheduler was set to the wrong time zone.
  • The trailer was uploaded to the website itself, and it stalled for everyone the day it came out.
  • Press kit downloads are links to someone's personal file-sharing account.
  • Every past production has its own small site, and nobody knows which ones are still up.
A note from Ryan

Check the time zone

The mistake I watch for on a release is the publish time. A page set to midnight in the wrong time zone goes live hours early, and with an embargo, that's a leak. I confirm the time and the zone in writing with whoever owns the release before I schedule anything.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes. The page is built on a private staging copy that only the people you invite can see, and it's set to publish at the exact time you give us, with the time zone written down.

It can, or each title can be a section of the company site. Separate title sites are easier to hand to a distributor, and one site is easier to keep current. We'll host whichever you choose and keep a list of every one.

Yes, if the trailer plays from a video host and the pages are cached ahead of the release. Bandwidth isn't billed. A big release can go on a Custom SLA, with a dedicated server sized to the day and response times in the contract.

Yes. Title sites are quoted first, at $95 an hour or a fixed price, with a launch date that leaves time for the distributor's review.

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
