Intention Media handles the distribution of feature films and documentaries to theatrical venues around the United States and Canada, as well as DVD distribution to retail outlets.
But Intention Media doesn’t represent just any old film. True to its name, the company has a purposeful intent, which is to both create and distribute films which awaken people to their personal power. The films and documentaries Intention Media handles are all about giving people hope, as well as vital knowledge about the world around, and within, them.
Intention Media films and DVDs deliver inspiration through stories of personal courage and spiritual endeavor, powerful examples of social activism and change, the examination of environmental issues, as well as breakthroughs in scientific understanding of our physical and metaphysical universe. Through these types of messages, Intention Media focuses on giving people the opportunity to realize they have the capacity to uplift both themselves and the world around them.
Headed by filmmaker Betsy Chasse (co-creator of the hit film What the Bleep Do We Know!?), and Internet businesses marketing and operations expert, Melissa Henderson,Intention Media was developed following the incredibly successful grassroots marketing, sales and distribution campaign they created for “The Bleep.” Three years operating the highly trafficked online sales outlet BleepStore.com gave Chasse and Henderson access to films with messages and information they felt deserved much great public attention and wider distribution. Using their extensive contacts in both the theatrical world, and online and as well as regular retail outlets, they have developed an effective, streamlined film and DVD distribution system throughout the United States and Canada.
