Reviews

We have worked with other distributors and studios over the years and had never heard of Deep C Digital before, but I am so glad that we signed with John Kim at Deep C Digital. John has done a wonderful job searching for all possible revenue stream sources for our film and keeps us consistently informed as to new avenues to explore. We have come to trust John and his team to get the job done and he has done it well.

Signing with John Kim and Deep C Digital has truly been a life-changing experience for me. As a filmmaker, I had always been passionate about creating, but navigating the business side of distribution felt overwhelming—until I met John. John is everything you could ever hope for in a distributor: knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your success. From the moment we started working together, he took the time to educate me on how different networks operate, from the importance of compelling poster art to the intricacies of CPMs and how they affect revenue. His insights gave me the tools to make informed decisions, and I saw immediate results. But John’s support didn’t stop there. He has gone above and beyond by introducing me to key industry players who have helped me elevate my career. These connections have opened doors I didn’t even know existed, and I can honestly say that a good part of my success is thanks to him. If you’re looking for a distributor who not only understands the business but also truly cares about the filmmakers he represents, John Kim is your guy. Working with him and Deep C Digital has been one of the best decisions of my career.

John has a practical deep-seated knowledge of the many platforms available. The connections he has gave me the confidence I could trust him with our film…and I was not disappointed. Deals of all types on a wide variety of platforms have lifted our receipts higher than we had been receiving from a major studio.

Deep C Digital is the distributor of my film AMAZING RACER. John Kim has delivered the film to the market successfully and has done so in a very professional and organized manner. He has vetted all of the buyers and has delivered on all sales. Deep C Digital has collected funds and delivered those fund to my account and has given me documentation and reports on time. I highly recommend John Kim and his distribution company Deep C Digital.

“John Kim is not only an expert in his field but a true gift to the industry! His upstanding character, unwavering commitment, strong integrity and dedication to his clients is priceless!”

Mary Jean Bentley

Producer, Fort Worth Studios

Through a seemingly random encounter (pun intended), I met John and his company, Deep C Digital, at a trade industry panel while looking for new avenues to market my film, Random Encounters with Meghan Markle. John came across extremely knowledgeable and he seemed like he was a real go-getter, a David among goliaths, if you will. I could tell that he had integrity, which is hard to find in this business. But most importantly, I felt he would give my film the attention and strategic focus that I wanted. That was 4 years ago and I am still surprised at the new platforms he puts my films on and the great mailbox money that he sends me monthly. I highly recommend John Kim and Deep C Digital!

I had an outstanding experience working with John Kim and Deep C Digital to distribute my Tubi Most Popular film- “STEP DAD”. John provided exceptional transparency in his customized distribution strategy while upholding all promises with integrity and ensuring fair compensation. He provided timely metrics updates, and ultimately achieved better distribution and financial results than I had hoped. I wholeheartedly recommend John as an ethical, results-driven distribution partner for any filmmaker seeking to protect client interests while driving value on both sides.

Deep C Digital was recommended by a filmmaker that I know and trust. It’s so hard to find a distributor that is honest and reliable, and I’m so grateful we went with John and his team. Our delivery was smooth and we’ve been steadily receiving checks, every month. John has also come to us with ideas on how to make more money with our title, like dubbing into different languages. I would highly recommend Deep C. Digital.

Drawn Into The Night

Thank God for John Kim, we have three films produced and distributed and we have had terrible experiences in the past ranging from royalties not being paid and collected, films not being promoted and bogus marketing and advertising expenses that were simply a way to steal from us.

John is a man of integrity, skilled in promoting and distributing our projects strategically. He pays on time every time. He communicates quickly and efficiently.

We’re very thankful for our relationship with John and would ecstatically recommend him to everyone.

Scott Pryor,

Producer/Director

John Kim has a reputation that surpasses few skilled colleagues in his field, and his name is respected across entertainment companies, studios, and platforms. For our film, Divided Hearts of America, there was no one equal to John Kim that we could have worked with. The most treasured and rare qualities that John Kim possesses, are his clear vision, his work ethic and most of all, his integrity. I have referred colleagues to Deep C Digital many times and will continue to do so. John Kim is extraordinary, personally and professionally. Our teams have been deeply grateful to work with him.

Unlike other sales agents who do not do what they say they will do, John has gotten us a large amount of digital and streaming distribution including some outlets we would have never had access to without John’s relationships. Best of all, John pays what he agrees to and pays quick!
David A Stone

Founder of Intrigue Films

“Deep C Digital has left no stone unturned in supporting our films. John finds digital platforms we’ve never HEARD of—which have delivered revenue beyond our expectations. Once DCD picks up a title they are relentless in pitching, imaginative in positioning, and intensely focussed on results. John is also very candid, and deeply ethical. Did I mention he pays MONTHLY?”

John from Deep C Digital is honest, up front and responsive – the polar opposite of many in the distribution world. He pays out on time and with transparency and allowed our film to unlock revenue streams we never would have without him. Highly recommended.

Dan Mark,

Principal, King Street Pictures

Deep C Digital is by far the most innovative sales agency I have worked with. John Kim is a man of integrity, and lives and breathes digital media sales. John has reliably secured a continuing stream of great broadcast sales for our film. He loves films and supporting filmmakers. I have worked with a number of distribution companies through my career and there is no comparison to the attention that both I and my films get from John. If the streaming services and broadcasters even like John half as much as I do then the film is in good hands.

Thanks to Deep C Digital, my film has played all over the world.

John is personal and gets back to me immediately. There is a transparency and positive energy in the communication flow which is both comforting and inspiring. It is very refreshing to have somebody who cares so much and inspires me to keep creating.

James Hutson,

Director/Producer, Dark Harvest

“John has been an indefatigable advocate for our feature film and has secured more sales and revenue than we were able to obtain based on the efforts of our own team and those of one of our film’s main actors. John is prompt in reporting and transferring funds and we could not be happier with our partnership with him!

We have had films with other distributors, and those are treacherous waters to navigate. But multiple people referred us to Deep C Digital, so we took a chance and we are glad we did.

John Kim is a no nonsense, level headed, straight shooter. Working with him and Deep C is great. The contracts are clean and straightforward. The reporting is clear and delivery is simple.

He has breathed new life into an old title of ours and it is thriving.

Tom Archdeacon

Writer / Producer

As a filmmaker, one of the greatest concerns is finding a distribution company that is transparent, honest, and fair. The reality is sobering—statistics suggest that 70 to 90% of producers fail to see a return on their films, even when the projects are outstanding and meet all the industry standards.

John came highly recommended to me by respected industry professionals, and now I understand why. I only wish I had known about him years ago. Working with John has been a game-changer. Having him on my team gives me the confidence to focus on creating quality content, knowing that I have a legitimate opportunity for my films to be seen on some of the biggest streaming platforms.

What truly sets John apart is his personalized approach. Despite having over 100 clients, he always makes me feel like I’m his only or most important client. Whether I call or email, he consistently takes the time to address my concerns and ensure that my needs are met. This level of dedication and professionalism is rare in the industry.

Thank you, John, for your exceptional service and unwavering support. While words like “thank you” may seem cliché, I genuinely mean it. Your decision to represent me has made an incredible difference, and I am deeply grateful. I look forward to continuing this journey together and creating more content, knowing I have someone as trustworthy and committed as you in my corner.

Cornelius Muller

Actor / Filmmaker

I had the pleasure of meeting John Kim a few years ago through a trusted colleague. We had a completed project that was a pilot with seven more episodes committed for a very reputable distributor but unfortunately, right after the pilot was wrapped, our financing source passed away suddenly leaving us with only one episode and no home for the show since the series wasn’t completed. John came to the rescue and found us several homes for the “pilot” as a standalone and on some very well-known outlets. I am grateful to him as it’s wonderful to see the project out there for the world to see and earning solid revenue for our investors’ family.

I’ve been making indie films for 15 years and have encountered my fair share of challenging distribution situations. Working with John Kim and Deep C has been a game-changer. They are by far the smoothest and most transparent distribution partner I’ve ever collaborated with. I initially started with one film, and now, in our second year of working together, they’re handling four of my films. The experience has been nothing short of excellent, and I’m excited about the potential for many more successful years of partnership. Deep C is highly recommended!

John Kim and Deep C Digital’s (DCD) services can be explained in a few short but powerful words: integrity, honesty, hard work, keeping promises, excellent placements, and the most essential need for independents – timely financial disbursement. Under John’s leadership, the DCD team makes you feel like a part of their family. I look forward to another three years and more with DCD and the many future content placements.

I’ve been in the movie business for over 25 years, working with major studios, so I was hesitant about using an independent distributor. After poor service from the major studios, a friend recommended John Kim and Deep C Digital. Six years later, Deep C Digital has outperformed the major studios in customer service, strategic thinking, and transparency. I trust John Kim, which is rare in Hollywood. Deep C Digital genuinely cares about content, producers, and is a world-class distribution company.
