The New and Improved TFC DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION GUIDE

We are thrilled to announce that, as promised, our new and improved Digital Distribution Guide (DDG)—which was once only available to TFC members—is now in BETA and available to everybody.

We split the guide into two parts: (a) the Digital Distribution Guide (DDG), which is platform-focused, and divided into narratives, docs, shorts and episodic; and (b) the TFC Digital Distribution Guide Facebook Group, for general news in the digital distribution space. Both parts feature select news items from the original guide dating back to 2010, when TFC was founded!

This new guide is meant to be an ever-evolving space, with new information added continually. It is in BETA to iron out the technical kinks and round out the content (especially in the international sections, and in the shorts and episodic tabs)— but we couldn’t wait to share it with you!

And of course, if you have any feedback, we’d love to hear from you!

The permanent link is digitaldistributionguide.com.

It’s summer on Sway Lake, former playground of the jazz-age New York aristocracy. Young music collector Ollie Sway (Rory Culkin) recruits his only friend, a rowdy Russian drifter (Robert Sheehan), to help him steal a one-of-a-kind vintage record from his own family’s glamorous lake house. Ollie believes that possessing the secret recording of the WW2-era hit “Sway Lake” will magically boost his confidence with women—and redeem his father, who committed suicide on the lake.

The plan is set until the arrival of Ollie's beguiling grandmother, Charlie Sway, changes everything. Charlie immediately transfixes the young Russian and threatens to derail the boys’ mission with her own plans for the mysterious music that hasn’t been heard in half a century. This song may answer the deepest riddles about love, passion, death, and memory—for whichever lost soul is first to find it.

Featuring a sparkling soundtrack of classic songs—as well as the stunning original of the title—THE SONG OF SWAY LAKE is a romantic drama about the vanished grace of America and the spells cast by the melodies of lost time.
