Producer Arihiro Wada and director Taichi Ito have unveiled CinemaAirLane, a new international distribution platform which will launch in 2023. It will deliver films from all over the world to U.S. theaters, in partnership with international film studio NOMA.
CinemaAirLane’s unique model directly connects filmmakers to theaters in the U.S., transforming the traditional theatrical distribution system. The platform makes global distribution easier, enabling more foreign-language films to reach U.S. audiences.
The digital platform also features key functions to aid with film marketing, including press release distribution and ad campaign planning. Additional services are set to be announced in the coming months. To use these tools, the only criteria the films must meet are that they need to be available with English subtitles, with a poster, a finished trailer, and suitable press images.
Arihiro Wada will act as CEO of CinemaAirLane. He is a producer and distributor of independent films in Japan (Opening Night, Laughing Lucky Cats, and Two Komachis). He is managing director of Green-Light, a script showcase service similar to The Black List.
Taichi Ito is a film director and producer (Lords of Chaos, Babel, USS Indianapolis), and is a business partner at CinemaAirLane. He is also the CEO of EdLead, a Japanese film production company, and NOMA, a film studio which is currently producing a trilogy of films about the world of crypto.
