CON-CAN Media Plaza (hosted by Media Research, Inc.) has started providing a service to all the directors to generate revenue for their short movies that are submitted to the CON-CAN Movie Festival. This program aims to provide benefit to all directors once a profit is made through the distribution of movies for educational purposes and various cultural activities.

Under the Revenue Share program, CON-CAN Media Plaza will make its best efforts in selling your content to the Japanese media for educational purposes and various cultural activities. Furthermore, CON-CAN Movie Festival is supported by Media Research, Inc., a company which possesses various routes of distribution to public agencies and educational institutions in Japanese markets. Upon your admission to the Revenue Share Program, Media Research, Inc. will provide your movies to such bodies, including schools, universities, and local government offices. We will also look into other markets focused in the criteria of entertainment. Not only will the Revenue Share Program provide directors with added benefit, but can be utilized as a promotional tool in increasing the awareness of directors in the Japanese movie distribution industry.

Any income generated through the activities explained above will be remitted to your account in your country in order to support your further creations (Kindly note that the Revenue Share Program will be applicable only after a profit has been made). CON-CAN Media Plaza sincerely encourages all applicants for the 6th CON-CAN Movie Festival to take advantage of this opportunity in generating additional revenue which will assist you in your further production.
