Company

History
KOAN was founded in 1991 to give Producers the opportunity to work with a distribution company they can trust. KOAN’s focus is to sell theatrical, PayTV, Satellite, Cable, Broadcast, Video and DVD rights to buyers worldwide. Its catalogue is made up of films, animation and documentaries. Since its creation, KOAN has always prided itself in the choice of programs it represents and was one of the first distribution companies to offer family programming at a time when stations had not yet understood the potential of the family market in the television industry. 

How We Work
Every program presented to KOAN is carefully examined and evaluated with regard to its potential in the international market place. Because we value our relationships with the Producers we represent, we strive to communicate realistic expectations of each program’s potential. Once the program is included in KOAN’s catalogue, we develop a customized marketing strategy to maximize its revenue. In addition, each program is highly promoted at all of the international markets that KOAN attends. These markets include but are not limited to NATPE, AFM, MIPTV, MIPCOM, CANNES FILM FESTIVAL, and MIFED.

 
 

First of all, thank you for taking the time to get to know us. Here at KOAN we are proud of being a different breed of Distribution Company. We understand you! We understand you want to work with a company that cares about your films as much as you do. You need a distribution partner instead of a distant contact that gets all the revenue from your films. You also crave real time feedback about the state of the market, where it’s headed, what’s working and what’s needed for your future productions… When you choose KOAN, you choose one of the most aggressive sales forces in the industry, a brand of rare personal attention for you and your films and a company where honesty is still “the best policy.” Welcome to KOAN.
