Giant Worldwide, now a business unit of Cineverse, provides several Oscar-nominated movies with digital distribution, including packaged media, ahead of the 98th Academy Awards on March 15.
Oscar-nominated titles Sentimental Value (9 nominations), Marty Supreme (9 nominations), If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (Best Actress nomination for Rose Byrne), and NEON’s The Secret Agent (Best Actor nomination for Wagner Maura) all received technical mastering, awards screener preparation, localization, and worldwide platform delivery from Giant.
Giant has served as NEON’s exclusive quality control, physical media, and digital delivery partner since the distributor’s inception, supporting the company’s technical workflows from source QC through U.S. digital distribution and future international releases.
Giant has also been A24 vendor for the past five years, providing master QC and distribution services across its current slate.
Giant supported NEON’s The Secret Agent and Sentimental Value with 4K master QC, trailer QC, subtitle and caption creation, DVD and Blu-ray authoring, and awards clip preparation, in addition to digital distribution packaging. Giant also created master encodes, in addition to digital platform deliveries.
For A24’s Marty Supreme and If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Giant provided master QC, encoding, metadata preparation, and digital platform distribution, ensuring each title met technical specifications for global release.
“These films represent some of the most exciting and ambitious work in independent cinema today,” said Meri Hassouni, SVP of Sales at Giant Worldwide. “We’re incredibly honored to collaborate with visionary distributors like NEON and A24 and to help bring these remarkable films to audiences around the world.”
