Useful specifics stay on the page for filmmakers and search engines, without turning the service page into a wall of copy.Why Professional Film Poster Design Matters for Independent Films
Your film poster is the single most important visual asset for your film's marketing. Before anyone watches your trailer, reads your synopsis, or sees a single frame, they see your poster. On streaming platforms like Filmhub, Amazon Prime, and iTunes, your poster appears as a thumbnail among hundreds of titles. You have less than two seconds to make an impression.
Professional film poster design goes beyond making something look good. It requires understanding how audiences read visual information, what signals genre and tone, and what makes someone stop scrolling. A poorly designed poster can make even a great film look amateur, reducing clicks and hurting your distribution prospects.
Designed by Filmmakers, for Filmmakers
San Roku Ku is not a generic design agency. We are an active production company that creates films, documentaries, and branded content. This means we understand your challenges because we face them ourselves. We know how streaming platforms display artwork, what film distributors look for, and how festival programmers evaluate submissions.
When we design your film poster, we are thinking about how it will perform as a thumbnail on Filmhub, how it will look printed at A2 size for festival screenings, and how it will translate to social media formats. This filmmaker-first approach is what sets our film poster design service apart from generic design platforms.
If you also need your graphics formatted for streaming platforms, our Filmhub graphics design service ensures your poster and all required artwork meet platform specifications.
Film Poster Design for Streaming Platforms and Filmhub
Streaming platforms have specific requirements for poster artwork. Filmhub, for example, requires key art in multiple sizes and aspect ratios. Your film poster needs to work as a full-size image, a thumbnail, and a cropped square version. Each format serves a different purpose in the platform's interface.
We design streaming posters with these requirements in mind from the start. Our compositions are crafted so they work across all required formats without awkward cropping or losing impact. This means your film looks professional and consistent whether someone sees it on a desktop browser, a mobile app, or a smart TV.
For filmmakers preparing to submit their film to streaming platforms, having platform-ready artwork is essential. Our poster design process ensures your key art meets technical specifications while maximizing visual impact.
Festival Poster Design and Key Art for Film Submissions
Film festivals are one of the most important showcases for independent films. Your festival poster appears in festival catalogs, on screening schedules, on social media posts from the festival, and potentially on physical displays at the venue. Festival programmers and audiences use your poster to decide which films to watch.
A professionally designed festival poster communicates production quality before anyone sees your film. It signals that your project is serious, well-crafted, and worth their time. This is especially important for first-time filmmakers who need to build credibility in a competitive environment.
Our poster design service covers all formats you need for festivals: print-ready posters in standard sizes, digital versions for festival websites and social media, and thumbnail-optimized versions for online catalogs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of film posters do you design?
We design movie posters for independent films across all formats—streaming posters for Filmhub, Amazon Prime, and iTunes; festival posters and key art for submissions; theatrical-style posters for digital and print; and social media cutdowns. Every poster is custom-created to match your film's genre, tone, and target audience.
In what format will I receive the files?
All packages include high-resolution JPG files ready for streaming platforms, film festivals, and social media. Premium also includes layered editable source files (PSD). Source files can be added to Basic or Standard if needed.
How long does it take?
Basic and Standard take approximately 4 to 5 days. Premium takes approximately 2 to 3 days. Express delivery with a 24-hour turnaround is available if you have an urgent festival or release deadline.
Approval Window
If we do not receive feedback within 48 hours after a revision is sent for approval, the order will be automatically marked as delivered and approved.
Delivery Terms
All delivery files are considered final upon approval. Final files are provided in high resolution according to the package specifications.
How many revisions are included?
Basic includes 1 revision, Standard includes 2 revisions, and Premium includes up to 5 revisions. Our goal is to ensure your poster looks exactly right and is ready for release.
Are editable source files included?
Premium includes editable source files in PSD format. These can also be added to Basic or Standard if you would like full flexibility for future edits.
Do I receive full usage rights?
Yes. Once the final design is delivered and approved, you receive full usage rights for your poster across streaming platforms, film festivals, marketing, websites, and social media.
What do you need from me to begin?
Please provide your film title, images or stills, genre, tone, tagline if available, and any references you like. If you are unsure, we can guide you through the process.
Can you design a poster if I only have still frames?
Yes. Most independent filmmakers provide still frames from their film. We can create a professional cinematic movie poster using those images.
Do you also format posters for streaming platforms like Filmhub?
Yes. Our Premium package includes streaming-ready artwork for Filmhub and other platforms. If you already have a poster and just need it formatted for streaming, our Filmhub graphics design service handles resizing, optimization, and platform compliance.
What if I am not sure which package to choose?
You can contact us at [email protected] and we will recommend the best option based on your film, release strategy, and goals.
How does payment work?
Full payment is required before work begins to secure your project in our production schedule. All transactions are processed securely through Stripe Checkout. We do not store, collect, or have access to your card or payment details.
What is your refund policy?
Because each poster is custom designed specifically for your film, refunds are not available once design work has begun. However, revisions are included in your package to help ensure you are happy with the final result.
