In addition to local acquisitions, we travel the world in search of the most beautiful children's and youth films. We want to inspire and empower children with our content.
Reliable, accessible and striving for optimal cooperation with all our customers and relations; that's who we are! The team members of In The Air have many years of distribution experience in children's and youth films and series. We create the most optimal exploitation plan and reach for each specific film or series. Focus and passion are the magical ingredients that ensure that our projects receive the extra attention they deserve.
