The Film Arcade Carousel

“I chose Carousel because I had a very difficult time with my previous distributors who treated my film carelessly on their platform and would not communicate honestly. I've had the opposite experience with Carousel. Delivery was easy with open channels of communication. I’m so grateful to have Carousel representing my film. They are an independent filmmaker friendly company who understands the difficulties of the movie making process and appreciates what independent cinema has to offer.”

– Larry Clarke, 3 Days with Dad

“For first-time filmmakers, The Film Arcade Carousel made the process of distribution so seamless and easy to navigate. We were able to get our film on the popular platforms without any sort of problematic learning curve.”

– Rodes Phire, Never Forgotten
