Jamroc Nation / Nation TV
Film Distribution for Jamaican and Caribbean Filmmakers
Jamroc Nation is a Jamaican-owned digital media and film distribution platform, built so filmmakers from Jamaica, the Caribbean and the wider diaspora, and American filmmakers too, have a real home for their work. For years our filmmakers have waited on foreign companies and festival doors to be seen. Nation TV is the door we built ourselves: a curated streaming library with a live audience behind it, fed every day by one of the diaspora’s most-read culture platforms.

How Distribution Works
- Submit your film. Submit your film, series, documentary or podcast through the Nation TV submissions page.
- Review and screening. Every submission is reviewed and screened in full.
- Agreement and insurance. Accepted titles sign the Nation TV distribution agreement, and the filmmaker provides their errors and omissions insurance certificate naming Jamroc Nation LLC as additional insured.

- Final approval. Fernando Edwards, founder, gives the final approval.
Nothing goes live until every step is complete.
