Questions
- Can we approve the script?
- You can approve how your brand is presented and the read itself. You can't change what the research says about history.
- How do you report?
- Screenshots straight from the platform's own analytics, unedited.
- Do you use AI?
- Yes, for parts of research and production. Every film passes a critic review and a quality gate before it is scheduled, and sources are published. We won't sell a "made without AI" claim.
- Who owns the film?
- Alterra Editions owns the film. Sponsors get credited placement; licensees get the usage rights in their licence.
