Blood Sweat Honey, a representation and consulting firm specializing in independent filmmakers, has established Cinema Machine as a distribution arm. The new division will handle theatrical and digital film distribution alongside project development, booking management, and contract administration.
Graven Image operates as a genre-focused label under Cinema Machine, concentrating on horror, science fiction, and cult films. Chad McKim Miller, formerly a vice president at Gravitas Ventures, has been appointed to lead Cinema Machine’s distribution and sales operations.
Alex Nohe, president of Blood Sweat Honey and a producers representative and distribution consultant, co-founded the company in 2017 alongside Jeff “The Dude” Dowd, who inspired the character in “The Big Lebowski.” Under Nohe’s leadership, the firm has assisted over 500 independent filmmakers in identifying audiences and securing distribution deals.
