"Absolutely invaluable"
by Tony Pinto/Pinto Productions

"Peter Hamilton is a documentary distribution veteran. His course, "Selling to Netflix and The Streamers," was absolutely invaluable to me as a first-time filmmaker.

The Sales Agent Database has been very useful during our current distribution efforts, and the Interactive Netflix Database will become essential as we begin to formulate ideas for our next project.

We're much more likely to hit a bullseye now that we're no longer shooting blind. 10/10!"

And the Interactive Database is an absolute win, a goldmine of invaluable information presented in an incredibly intuitive format. 

All in all, simply enormous value on so many levels!
