How to sell new movie to OTT?

[cha_indian]

Dear friends, I turned a movie producer with my first production Takita Tadimi Tandana, Telugu language Rom-Com movie that is made with small budget. I submitted my movie to Amazon PrimeVideo, NetFlix, ETV-Win but they all have rejected citing no reason. My movie was praised by even Censor board members, especially women members for making a good movie in a sea of movies filled by misogyny. Telugu movies are filled with vulgarity and skinshow and my movie is universally praised by common members. I showed it to Journalists, Policemen, Politicians and general public before the theatrical release and they all loved. Does anyone have exprience working with OTTs here? I would love to connect and share my experiences and gain knowledge...Thanks and Regards, CK

Netflix, prime or other OTTs are commercial ones they definitely look for fame / commercial hits. They will not definitely work out for beginners. What's your objective ?. Making money or getting award(good recognition) for your movie ?. If you feel your content is worth getting award then there will be film competitions --where you need to register and post your content. If your motive is just making money then your film should be commercial , atleast few well known actors should have been acted in the film. Then you may be able to sell it through OTT. Otherwise you need to collaborate with with well known YouTube channels and post your content there. If you are posting to your own youutube channel which is not eligible for monetization then you wont get anything even if it has million views.
Other one is difficult path - you need to find the sponsors to broadcast your movie to some TV channel where you may get some money if they feel like if your movie is really worth.
