Tugg: An Easy Way to Host a Movie Screening of Independent and Emerging Filmmakers

In the U.S, rights to present movies from major film studios can be obtained through Swank Motion Pictures and Criterion USA, the two largest film licensing companies in the nation. A third option that caters to independent films and grass roots organizations was launched at SXSW in 2012. Tugg functions mostly as an intermediary between independent filmmakers and their audiences, making it easy for movies to be shown in theaters and alternative venues. Its format makes it valuable for organizations that do not have an appropriate venues or filmmakers looking to increase their exposure.
