Anotherself: From France to Prime Video, A YOUALITY Success Story

Feb 23, 2024

CNC-recognized visa approval

The film Anotherself (Un Autre Soi), directed by Amir Tavakoli and produced in collaboration with YOUALITY, has achieved a major milestone in the independent film circuit.
After securing CNC-recognized visa approval for legal screening and cultural positioning in France, the film was officially presented and recognized within the French cinematic ecosystem.

This strategic move allowed the film to enter France's regulated film environment—a crucial step that validated the production’s artistic and professional credentials on a European level.

Following its French positioning, Anotherself has now been released on Amazon Prime Video (United States), reaching a broad international audience through a major VOD platform.

Real-World Example: The Power of Branding

Think of iconic brands like Apple or Nike. Their branding goes far beyond products—it’s about innovation, lifestyle, and emotional connection. Every visual, every message, and every interaction reinforces who they are. This kind of clarity and cohesion is what helps brands build global communities.

Why This Matters

– Demonstrates how YOUALITY supports non-European voices to legally access and engage with European film institutions
– Establishes a working model for future YOUALITY productions to benefit from co-distribution channels
– Proves that even poetic, deeply psychological independent cinema can break through traditional borders—when navigated strategically
