Who we are

Founded in 2025 by Gabriella Macomber and Brandon Estupinan, Verza Media was built by two people who believe great films deserve to be seen.

Gabriella comes from inside the film industry, with years spent shaping how films find and grow their audiences — across streaming platforms, theatrical runs, and the festival circuit. She's seen the full journey a film takes from premiere to packed house, and she brings that instinct to every campaign we run.

Brandon brings the strategic backbone — a sharp sense for the business behind a release, minus the corporate stiffness. He's the one who makes sure every campaign is built to actually work.

Release windows, festival timelines, distributor relationships, and the delicate work of building an audience around a story - it takes people who understand the rhythm of the industry, not just the algorithm.

From pre-launch buzz to release-week momentum to the long tail of a film's life, we handle the day-to-day so you can stay focused on the work that matters: the film itself.

We partner with filmmakers, festivals, and distributors to carry a film from its festival run through theatrical release and into the long tail — laying the groundwork before release, driving turnout during the theatrical run, and keeping the film working long after.

We work with clients including DOC NYC, the largest documentary festival in the United States, and award-winning films across the festival and theatrical circuit.
