Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 1 – The Company, Description of Business, Acquisitions, Commercial Loan Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on May 4, 2016. CSS Productions, LLC (“CSS Productions”), the Company’s predecessor and immediate parent company, was formed in December 2014 by Chicken Soup for the Soul, LLC (“CSS”), a publishing and consumer products company, and initiated operations in January 2015. The Company was formed to create a discrete entity focused on video content opportunities using the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand (the “Brand”). The Brand is owned and licensed to the Company by CSS. Chicken Soup for the Soul Holdings, LLC (“CSS Holdings”), is the parent company of CSS and the Company’s ultimate parent company. The Company creates and distributes video content under the Brand. The Company has an exclusive, perpetual and worldwide license from CSS to create and distribute video content under the Brand. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has irrevocably elected to avail itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as public companies that are not emerging growth companies. The Company operates in one reportable segment, the production and distribution of video content, and currently operates in the United States and internationally. With the acquisition of Screen Media Ventures in 2017, the Company now has a presence in over 56 countries and territories worldwide. Initial Public Offering Effective August 17, 2017, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) of $30.0 million consisting of 2,500,000 shares of Class A common stock (“Class A Shares”) at an offering price of $12.00 per share.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘‘GAAP’’). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The acquisition of A Plus has been treated as an acquisition of entities under common control in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 805-50 "Transactions between entities under common control" Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The Company’s significant estimates include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable allowances, intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, income taxes and amortization of programming costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and consist primarily of money market funds. Such investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is as follows: Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions. These valuations require significant judgment and estimates. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued participation costs, film library acquisition costs and accrued programming costs, approximated their carrying value due primarily to the relative short-term nature of these instruments. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect and are subsequently stated net of allowance for uncollectible accounts and video returns. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on a combination of historical experience, aging analysis and information on specific accounts. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collections have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Accounts are considered past due or delinquent based on contractual terms and how recently payments have been received. Estimated losses resulting from uncollectible accounts are reported as bad debt expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. At December 31, 2018, accounts receivable is presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts and video returns of $601,500. Bad debt expense of $329,544 was recorded in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2017, an allowance for doubtful accounts was not considered necessary. Inventory Inventory consists of DVD films held for resale to wholesale and retail customers. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market value is based on net realizable value. When the net realizable value falls below its cost, a provision for write-downs is recorded. Programming Costs Programming costs include the unamortized costs of completed, in-process, or in-development long-form and short-form video content. For video content, the Company’s capitalized costs include all direct production and financing costs, capitalized interest when applicable, and production overhead. The costs of producing video content are amortized using the individual-film-forecast method. These costs are amortized in the proportion that current period’s revenue bears to management’s estimate of ultimate revenue expected to be recognized from each production. For an episodic television series, the period over which ultimate revenue is estimated cannot exceed ten years following the date of delivery of the first episode, or, if still in production, five years from the date of delivery of the most recent episode, if later. Programming costs are stated at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. The valuation of programming costs is reviewed on a title-by-title basis, when an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value may be less than its unamortized cost and the valuation is based on a discounted cash flows (“DCF”) methodology with assumptions for cash flows. Key inputs employed in the DCF methodology include estimates of a program’s ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the DCF is based on the weighted average cost of capital of the Company plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular program. The Company performs an annual impairment analysis for unamortized programming costs. An impairment charge is recorded in the amount by which the unamortized costs exceed the estimated fair value. Estimates of future revenue involve measurement uncertainties and it is therefore possible that reductions in the carrying value of programming costs may be required as a consequence of changes in management’s future revenue estimates. Included in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations for 2018 and 2017, is amortization of programming costs totaling $2,752,446 and $2,474,836, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no Film Library The film library represents the cost of acquiring film distribution rights and related acquisition and accrued participation costs. The film library is amortized using the individual-film-forecast-computation method. Film library is stated at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value. Amortization is based upon management’s best estimate of total future, or ultimate revenue. Amortization is adjusted when necessary to reflect increases or decreases in forecasted ultimate revenues. Ultimate revenue time frame is determined based on the term of the acquisition agreement, which in most cases is ten years or more. The company generally acquires distribution rights covering periods of ten or more years. Film library costs are stated at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. The valuation of film library costs is reviewed at the film acquisition year level (‘vintage’), when an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value may be less than its unamortized cost and the valuation is based on a discounted cash flows (“DCF”) methodology with assumptions for cash flows. Key inputs employed in the DCF methodology include estimates of a film vintage ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the DCF is based on the weighted average cost of capital of the Company plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with acquiring a particular film. The Company performs an annual impairment analysis for unamortized film library costs. An impairment charge is recorded in the amount by which the unamortized costs exceed the estimated fair value. Estimates of future revenue involve measurement uncertainties and it is therefore possible that reductions in the carrying value of film library costs may be required as a consequence of changes in management’s future revenue estimates. Included in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is amortization of film library totaling $6,459,431 and $1,378,869, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017, there was no material impairment charge recorded. Goodwill & Acquired Intangible Assets Video Content License The Company has been granted a perpetual, exclusive license from CSS to utilize the Brand and related content, for visual exploitation on a worldwide basis (“Perpetual License”). In granting the Perpetual License, CSS required an initial purchase price of $5,000,000, which approximated its costs to CSS, and was paid by the Company during 2016. The Company has recorded the initial purchase price of the Perpetual License at the estimated cost to CSS. Popcornflix Film Rights and Other Assets Popcornflix film rights and other assets represents the direct-to-consumer online video service and application platform comprised of five ad-supported networks with rights to over 3,000 films and approximately 60 television series. Popcornflix is an indefinite-lived intangible and is not subject to amortization but annual impairment analysis. For our 2018 and 2017 annual impairment tests, we performed a qualitative impairment assessment of our assets. For the qualitative analysis we took into consideration all the relevant events and circumstances, including financial performance, macroeconomic conditions and entity-specific factors such as client wins and losses. Based on this assessment, we concluded that for each of our assets subject to the qualitative assessment, it is not “more likely than not” that its fair value was less than its carrying value; therefore, no additional testing was required. Pivotshare Acquired intangible assets of Pivotshare represent the fair value of its installed customer base, the non-compete obligation of the former chief executive officer and goodwill. The installed customer base and the non-compete are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value. Amortization is based upon management’s best estimate of useful lives, which is five years for the installed customer base and three years for the non-compete, which is the period it is in effect. We account for our business combinations using the acquisition accounting method, which requires us to determine the fair value of net assets acquired and the related goodwill and other intangible assets. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management's judgment and involves the use of significant estimates, including projections of future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives and market multiples. Considering the characteristics of AVOD and film distribution companies, our acquisitions usually do not have significant amounts of tangible assets, as the principal asset we typically acquire is talent and customer intel. As a result, a substantial portion of the purchase price is allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets. A Plus In accordance with ASC Subtopic 805-50, “Transactions between entities under common control”, acquired intangible assets of A Plus represent the carrying value as of the date of transfer, December 28, 2018. We review goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization as of December 31st each year and whenever events or significant changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our annual impairment review did not result in an impairment charge at any of our reporting units. In performing our annual impairment review, we would first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. Qualitative factors to consider may include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors that may have a negative effect on earnings, financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events such as changes in management, key personnel, strategy or clients, as well as pending litigation. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances such as those described above, an entity determines that it is "more likely than not" that the goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is required to determine the fair value and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying value. Otherwise, no additional testing is required. For our 2018 and 2017 annual impairment tests, we performed a qualitative impairment assessment for our assets. For the qualitative analysis we took into consideration all the relevant events and circumstances, including financial performance, macroeconomic conditions and entity-specific factors such as client wins and losses. Based on this assessment, we have concluded that for each of our assets subject to the qualitative assessment, it is not “more likely than not” that its fair value was less than its carrying value; therefore, no additional testing was required. For the year ended December 31, 2018, there was no impairment charge recorded. Income Taxes The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740: Income Taxes , which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return, should be recorded in the financial statements. Pursuant to the authoritative guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it meets the “more likely than not” threshold that the position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position or expiration of statutes. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. In addition, the authoritative guidance addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods, and also requires increased disclosures. The Company includes interest and penalties related to its uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense within its consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities. See Note 13 for additional information. Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Film Library Acquisition Obligations Film library acquisition obligations represent amounts due in connection with the Company acquiring film distribution rights. Pursuant to the film distribution rights agreements, the Company’s right to distribute films may revert to the licensor in the event that the Company is unable to satisfy its financial obligations with respect to the acquisition of the related distribution rights. Accrued Participation Costs The Company accrues for participation costs due to production companies and producers based on the respective agreements. Amounts due to production companies and producers are calculated based on gross revenue for each film after exceeding certain minimum targets. In addition, the Company must recoup its original investment in each film before such payments are due. Accrued participation costs are capitalized and amortized as part of the film library. Revenue Recognition Revenue from online digital distribution and VOD platforms are recorded when monthly activity is reported by advertisers. For theatrical releases, revenue is recorded after the theatrical release date and when box office proceeds reports are received. Revenue from all digital media distribution is included in online networks in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company licenses and distributes multi-film packages to its customers. Revenue from multi-film sales is allocated on a per title basis and recognized upon initial availability for exploitation by customers. In addition, the Company distributes DVDs and similar media to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of DVD units or similar media units to its customers. Provision for future returns and other allowances are established based upon historical experience. Revenue from the distribution of multi-film packages and DVDs and similar media is included in television and film distribution in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company recognizes revenue from the production and distribution of television programs and short-form video content in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 926: Entertainment – Films as amended (“ASC 926”). Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, delivery has occurred, and collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable. For episodic television programs, revenue is recognized as each episode becomes available for delivery or becomes available for broadcast, and for short-form online videos, revenue is recognized when the videos are posted to a website for viewing. Revenue from the distribution of short-form online media content is included in television and short-form video production revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Cash advances received by the Company are recorded as deferred revenue until all the conditions of revenue recognition have been met. Share-Based Payments The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718: Share-based compensation, which establishes the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Under the provisions of the authoritative guidance, share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. Shares issued for services are based upon current selling prices of the Company’s Class A common stock or independent third-party valuations. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based instruments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. All share-based awards are fulfilled with new shares of Class A common stock. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, share-based awards were issued to non-employee directors and individuals for services rendered and were recorded at fair value. Advertising Costs Generally, advertising costs are expensed as incurred except for the advertising costs associated with the Company’s theatrically released titles which the Company is obligated to make reimbursements for. The expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 $63,875 . These costs are capitalized as part of the film library acquisition costs and are amortized as such. $2,000. Earnings (loss) Per Share Basic net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased, when applicable, by dilutive common stock equivalents, comprised of Class W warrants, Class Z warrants and stock options outstanding. In computing the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, the Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the related incremental shares. Client Concentration For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had 1 customer, which accounted for 15% of our total revenue. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had 2 customers that accounted for 46% of accounts receivable 32 the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company had 4 customers that accounted for 77% of total revenue (the largest of which accounted for 28%). As of December 31, 2017, the Company had 1 customer that accounted for 58% of accounts receivable. Reclassification Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, prior year revenue has been presented in a manner more representative of the Company’s current revenue streams. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders' equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule was effective on November 5, 2018. The Company adopted the rule in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the impact on its consolidated financial statements was not material. In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation Topic 718: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments issued to nonemployees. Under the new guidance, equity-classified nonemployee awards are to be measured on the grant date, rather than on the earlier of (1) the performance commitment date or (2) the date at which the nonemployee’s performance is complete. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 for public entities and after December 15, 2019 for all other entities. Early adoption is permitted but not before an entity adopts ASC 606. The Company will adopt ASU 2018-07 in the first quarter of 2019 and does not expect the impact on its consolidated financial statements to be material. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under current GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of the first quarter of 2019. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019 and does not expect the impact on its consolidated financial statements to be material. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. For public entities, this standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). For all other entities, this standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period (full retrospective) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application (modified retrospective). Being an emerging growth company, the Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 in the first quarter of 2019 and apply the modified retrospective approach. Because the Company's primary source of revenue is from episodic television shows when each episode becomes available for delivery and available for broadcast, and multi-film sales when available for initial exploitation by customers, the Company does not expect the impact on its consolidated financial statements to be material.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 4 – Business Combination A Plus Effective December 28, 2018, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of A Sharp Inc. A Plus is a digital media company that develops and distributes high-quality, empathetic short-form videos and articles to millions of people worldwide, with an emphasis on positive journalism and social change. A Plus had content views in 2018 and increased its social media by 10% to over 3.2 million followers. A Plus was founded by and is chaired by renowned actor and investor, Ashton Kutcher. Prior to the acquisition, A Plus was majority owned by an affiliate of our parent company, Chicken Soup for the Soul, LLC (“CSS”). In September 2016, we entered into a distribution agreement with A Plus (the “A Plus Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which we received the exclusive worldwide rights to distribute all video content (in any and all formats) and all editorial content (including articles, photos and still images) created, produced, edited or delivered by A Plus. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, we received a net distribution fee equal to 40% of gross revenue generated by the distribution of the A Plus video content. As a result of the acquisition, A Plus is now a wholly owned subsidiary of our company, and the A Plus Distribution Agreement has been terminated, resulting in our retention of 100% of the revenues generated by A Plus and projected cost savings. The acquisition of A Plus is expected to have a material positive impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Purchase Price otherwise payable by the Company was reduced by approximately $3.3 million of advances owed by A Plus to the Company. The balance of the cash portion of the purchase price was used to reduce all open amounts under the intercompany cash management account. Any excess amount that may be due to CSS will be deferred and will be carried in the intercompany cash management system until amortized in accordance with prior practice. The Company accounted for its acquisition of A Plus in accordance with ASC Subtopic 805-50, “Transactions between entities under common control”. All net assets have been transferred at their carrying amounts at the date of transfer and financial statements of the have been restated to reflect the transaction from the date of common ownership. The consolidated financial statements have been restated as though the transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interests had occurred at the beginning of the period. Thus, the consolidated results of operations for the period comprise those of the previously separate entities combined from the beginning of the earliest period presented. Financial statements and financial information presented for prior years have been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information as required. All comparative information in prior years have been adjusted for periods during which the entities were under common control. The effects of intra-entity transactions on current assets, current liabilities, revenue, and cost of sales for periods presented and on retained earnings at the beginning of the periods presented have been eliminated where applicable. Pivotshare Effective August 22, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of all the outstanding capital stock of Pivotshare for approximately $258,000 in cash, the issuance of 134,000 shares of Series A preferred stock valued at $3.4 million and the issuance of 74,235 shares of Class A common stock valued at $731,957. A portion of the Series A preferred stock and the Class A common stock included in the Purchase Price are held in escrow for noncompete and indemnification obligations of Pivotshare and its stockholders. Pivotshare is the developer and owner of a global subscription-based video on-demand service (“SVOD”) offering channels online across a variety of categories including music, sports, religion, arts and culture, lifestyle and family. Content on most of those channels is owned and provided by third-party content publishers in accordance with terms of the Pivotshare Publishers Agreements. The acquisition is accounted for as a purchase of a business under ASC 805, and the aggregate purchase price consideration of $4.4 million has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on management’s analysis and information received from an independent third-party appraisal. The preliminary results are as follows: Purchase price consideration allocated to fair value of net assets acquired: Accounts receivable, net $ 5,239 Other current assets 11,917 Property and equipment, net 7,771 Deferred tax asset 407,000 Other assets 29,138 Other intangible asset Intangibles 2,820,410 Goodwill 1,300,319 Assets acquired 4,581,794 Accounts payable and accrued expenses (98,325 ) Other current liabilities (472,694 ) Liabilities assumed (571,019 ) Total purchase consideration, less cash acquired $ 4,010,776 Purchase Price Consideration Allocation: Cash consideration $ 257,758 Equity consideration - Class A common stock 731,957 Equity consideration - Series A Preferred Stock 3,350,000 Purchase price consideration 4,339,715 Less: cash acquired (328,939 ) Total purchase consideration, less cash acquired $ 4,010,776 The fair value of Pivotshare’s installed customer base as well as its former chief executive officers non-compete agreement, were the most significant assets recorded from the acquisition of Pivotshare. In determining the fair value of the installed customer base, the independent third-party appraiser utilized a traditional Customer Life Value (CLV) model. This model took into account average revenue per customer, margins and customer churn rate. In determining the fair value of the former chief executive officers noncompete agreement, the appraiser calculated the value of the securities held in escrow to secure the non-compete. Aggregate acquisition-related costs related to the Purchase, including legal fees, accounting fees and investment advisory fees were approximately $267,305 and are recognized as an expense in the consolidated condensed statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. Screen Media Ventures Effective November 3, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the membership interests of Screen Media for approximately $4.9 million in cash and the issuance of 35,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class Z warrants of the Company exercisable into 50,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at $12 per share (the “Purchase”). Screen Media operates Popcornflix®, an advertiser-supported direct-to-consumer online video service (“AVOD”) and distributes television series and films worldwide. The acquisition is accounted for as a purchase of a business under ASC 805, and the aggregate purchase price consideration of $5.3 million has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on management’s analysis and information received from an independent third-party appraisal, as follows: Purchase Price Consideration Allocation: Cash consideration $ 4,905,355 Equity consideration - Class A common stock 281,050 Equity consideration - Class Z warrants 143,500 Purchase price consideration 5,329,905 Less: cash acquired (221,541 ) Total purchase consideration, less cash acquired $ 5,108,364 Purchase price consideration allocated to fair value of net assets acquired: Accounts receivable, net $ 2,405,654 Prepaid expenses 175,719 Video inventory 343,308 Property and equipment, net 123,115 Other intangible asset 125,000 Popcornflix film rights and other assets 7,163,943 Film library, net 22,940,151 Assets acquired 33,276,890 Accounts payable and accrued expenses (774,350 ) Customer deposits (210,846 ) Accrued participations payable (2,137,983 ) Film obligations (723,600 ) Liabilities assumed (3,846,779 ) Gain on bargain purchase (24,321,747 ) Total purchase consideration, less cash acquired $ 5,108,364 The fair value of the Screen Media film library, as well as the Popcornflix film rights and other assets, were the most significant assets recorded from the acquisition of Screen Media. In determining the fair value of these assets, the independent third-party appraiser utilized an income-based approach (“DCF”). Under the income-based approach, the third-party appraiser calculated the net present value (“NPV”) of after-tax cash flows as expected from the film library and from Popcornflix. The NPV was added to a terminal or exit value for these assets to obtain estimates of fair value. Based on the fair value of the net assets acquired, the acquisition of Screen Media resulted in a gain on bargain purchase of $24.3 million. Screen Media, in recent years, had been heavily indebted and their lenders allowed it to seek an acquirer who would pay an agreed-upon amount to such lenders, who were willing to accept a significant reduction in the total indebtedness due. This allowed the Company to acquire Screen Media on a debt-free basis at a significant discount. Aggregate acquisition-related costs related to the Purchase, including legal fees, accounting fees and investment advisory fees is approximately $2.2 million, and is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income include net revenue of $3.0 million and gross pre-tax profit of $0.6 million, from Screen Media’s operations from the date of acquisition on November 3, 2017 through December 31, 2017.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	Note 6 – Share-Based Compensation Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to attract and retain certain employees. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to one million common stock equivalents subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Plan generally provides for quarterly and bi-annual vesting over terms ranging from two to three years. The Company accounts for the Plan as an equity plan. The Company recognized these stock options at fair value determined by applying the Black Scholes options pricing model to the grant date market value of the underlying common shares of the Company. The compensation expense associated with these stock options is amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective vesting periods. For the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $857,073 and $572,905, respectively, of non-cash share-based compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. There were 462,919 stock options vested at December 31, 2018. Stock options activity as of December 31, 2018 is as follows: As of December 31, 2018 Number of Stock Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contract Term (Yrs.) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Total outstanding at December 31, 2017 690,000 $ 7.61 4.32 $ 1,079,500 Granted 32,500 9.66 4.45 - Forfeited (60,000 ) 9.74 3.67 - Exercised - - - - Expired - - - - Outstanding at December 31, 2018 662,500 $ 7.52 3.34 $ 332,100 Vested and exercisable at December 31, 2018 462,919 $ 7.03 3.16 $ 318,778 As of December 31, 2018, the Company had unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense of $787,235 related to non-vested stock options under the Plan of which $449,0233, $315,271 and $22,941 will be recognized in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. We used the following weighted average assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock options granted for the periods presented as follows: Year Ended December 31, Weighted Average Assumptions: 2018 2017 Expected dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % Expected equity volatility 57.1 % 57.0 % Expected term (years) 5.00 2.57 Risk-free interest rate 2.10 % 2.05 % Exercise price per stock option $ 7.52 $ 7.61 Market price per share $ 6.80 $ 6.92 Weighted average fair value per stock option $ 3.26 $ 3.33 The risk-free rates are based on the implied yield available on US Treasury constant maturities with remaining terms equivalent to the respective expected terms of the options. The Company estimates expected terms for stock options awarded to employees using the simplified method in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation because the Company does not have sufficient relevant information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns. The Company estimates the expected term for stock options using the contractual term. Expected volatility is calculated based on the Company’s peer group because the Company does not have sufficient historical data and will continue to use peer group volatility information until historical volatility of the Company is available to measure expected volatility for future grants. The Company also awards common stock grants to directors and non-employee executive producers that provide services to the Company. The Company also awards common stock grants to directors and non-employee executive producers that provide services to the Company. For the year end ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized in selling, general and administrative expense, non-cash share-based compensation expense relating to stock grants of $96,615 and $65,353, respectively. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company capitalized as programming costs, the fair value of Class A common stock and Class Z warrants totaling $625,500 issued to a non-employee executive producer of two television shows to be produced, based on an independent valuation of such shares and warrants. The programming costs will be amortized to cost of revenue as the television shows become available for delivery in accordance with Company accounting policy. In January 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved an increase, subject to stockholder approval, to the number of shares available for grant pursuant to the Plan to 1,250,000 shares from 1,000,000 shares. The increase in the number of shares available for grant under the Plan was ratified by stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on June 13, 2018.

Family members of officers of the Company and of CSS participated in the 2016 Equity Private Placement and the 2017 Equity Private Placement on the same terms and conditions as other investors (see Note 14). In two separate transactions, other parties purchased a total of 55,000 shares of Class A common stock and Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Class A common stock. Total proceeds to the Company were $487,500. Executive Producer Shares As described in Note 6, in June 2017 the Company issued 50,000 shares of Class A common stock and a Class Z warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of Class A common stock at $12 per share to a non-employee executive producer of two television shows to be produced by the Company. Based on an independent third-party valuation of such shares and warrants, the fair value of this award using observable market input for the Class A common stock issuance and a Black Scholes model for the warrant totaled $625,500.

Under the terms of the Management Agreement, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company pays a quarterly fee to CSS equal to 5% of the gross revenue as reported under GAAP for each fiscal quarter. Since the completion of the IPO, the Company reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the quarterly fee is based on gross revenue as reported in the applicable public filing under the Exchange Act for each fiscal quarter. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded management fee expense of $532,850 and $405,932, respectively, payable to CSS. Each quarterly amount due shall be paid on or prior to the later of the 45th day after the end of such quarter, or the 10th day after the filing of the applicable Exchange Act report for such quarter. On August 21, 2017, the Company paid to CSS $739,422 in management fees that were owed for the years 2015 and 2016 and for the six months ended June 30, 2017. In addition, for any sponsorship that is arranged by CSS for the Company’s video content or that contains a multi-element transaction for which the Company receives a portion of such revenue and CSS receives the remaining revenue (for example, a transaction that relates to both video content and CSS’s printed products), the Company shall pay a sales commission to CSS equal to 20% of the portion of such revenue earned. Each sales commission shall be paid within 30 days of the end of the month in which received. If CSS actually collects the Company’s portion of such fee, CSS will remit the revenue due to the Company after deducting the sales commission. There were no sales commissions earned or paid to CSS during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The term of the Management Agreement is five years, with automatic one-year renewals thereafter unless either party elects to terminate by delivering written notice at least 90 days prior to the end of the then current term. The Management Agreement is terminable earlier by either party by reason of certain prescribed and uncured defaults by the other party. The Management Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy or a bankruptcy of CSS or if the Company no longer has licensed rights from CSS under the License Agreement described below. License Agreement The Company is a party to a trademark and intellectual property license agreement with CSS (the “License Agreement”). Under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company has been granted a perpetual, exclusive license to utilize the Brand and related content, such as stories published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, for visual exploitation worldwide.

Each quarterly amount shall be paid on or prior to the later of the 45th day after the end of such quarter, or the 10 th In addition, CSS provides marketing support for the Company’s productions through its email distribution, blogs and other marketing and public relations resources. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company shall pay a quarterly fee to CSS equal to 1% of gross revenue as reported under GAAP for each fiscal quarter for such support. For years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded license fee expense of $1.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, payable to CSS. Due from Affiliated Companies As of December 31, 2018, the Company is owed $1.2 million from affiliated companies, primarily CSS Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Animal Tales . The Company is part of CSS’s central cash management system whereby payroll and benefits are administered by CSS and the related expenses are charged to its subsidiaries, and funds are transferred between affiliates as needed. During 2017, the Company advanced CSS and its subsidiaries a net amount of approximately $4.7 million. As noted above, advances and repayments occur periodically. In the first quarter of 2018, CSS repaid $1.0 million of such net advances it owed to the Company. In the fourth quarter, the balance was significantly reduced as a result of the common control transaction in A Plus. The Company and CSS do not charge interest on the net advances or the net repayments. (a) Debt Private Placement and Equity Private Placements Officers of the Company and of CSS, and their family members (“Related Parties”), made purchases under the Debt Private Placement, the 2016 Equity Private Placement, and the 2017 Equity Private Placement on the same terms and conditions as offered to other investors.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘‘GAAP’’). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The acquisition of A Plus has been treated as an acquisition of entities under common control in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 805-50 "Transactions between entities under common control"
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The Company’s significant estimates include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable allowances, intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, income taxes and amortization of programming costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and consist primarily of money market funds. Such investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is as follows: Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions. These valuations require significant judgment and estimates. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued participation costs, film library acquisition costs and accrued programming costs, approximated their carrying value due primarily to the relative short-term nature of these instruments.
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect and are subsequently stated net of allowance for uncollectible accounts and video returns. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on a combination of historical experience, aging analysis and information on specific accounts. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collections have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Accounts are considered past due or delinquent based on contractual terms and how recently payments have been received. Estimated losses resulting from uncollectible accounts are reported as bad debt expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. At December 31, 2018, accounts receivable is presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts and video returns of $601,500. Bad debt expense of $329,544 was recorded in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2017, an allowance for doubtful accounts was not considered necessary.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Inventory Inventory consists of DVD films held for resale to wholesale and retail customers. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market value is based on net realizable value. When the net realizable value falls below its cost, a provision for write-downs is recorded.
Research, Development, and Computer Software, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Programming Costs Programming costs include the unamortized costs of completed, in-process, or in-development long-form and short-form video content. For video content, the Company’s capitalized costs include all direct production and financing costs, capitalized interest when applicable, and production overhead. The costs of producing video content are amortized using the individual-film-forecast method. These costs are amortized in the proportion that current period’s revenue bears to management’s estimate of ultimate revenue expected to be recognized from each production. For an episodic television series, the period over which ultimate revenue is estimated cannot exceed ten years following the date of delivery of the first episode, or, if still in production, five years from the date of delivery of the most recent episode, if later. Programming costs are stated at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. The valuation of programming costs is reviewed on a title-by-title basis, when an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value may be less than its unamortized cost and the valuation is based on a discounted cash flows (“DCF”) methodology with assumptions for cash flows. Key inputs employed in the DCF methodology include estimates of a program’s ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the DCF is based on the weighted average cost of capital of the Company plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular program. The Company performs an annual impairment analysis for unamortized programming costs. An impairment charge is recorded in the amount by which the unamortized costs exceed the estimated fair value. Estimates of future revenue involve measurement uncertainties and it is therefore possible that reductions in the carrying value of programming costs may be required as a consequence of changes in management’s future revenue estimates. Included in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations for 2018 and 2017, is amortization of programming costs totaling $2,752,446 and $2,474,836, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no
Film Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Film Library The film library represents the cost of acquiring film distribution rights and related acquisition and accrued participation costs. The film library is amortized using the individual-film-forecast-computation method. Film library is stated at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value. Amortization is based upon management’s best estimate of total future, or ultimate revenue. Amortization is adjusted when necessary to reflect increases or decreases in forecasted ultimate revenues. Ultimate revenue time frame is determined based on the term of the acquisition agreement, which in most cases is ten years or more. The company generally acquires distribution rights covering periods of ten or more years. Film library costs are stated at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. The valuation of film library costs is reviewed at the film acquisition year level (‘vintage’), when an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value may be less than its unamortized cost and the valuation is based on a discounted cash flows (“DCF”) methodology with assumptions for cash flows. Key inputs employed in the DCF methodology include estimates of a film vintage ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the DCF is based on the weighted average cost of capital of the Company plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with acquiring a particular film. The Company performs an annual impairment analysis for unamortized film library costs. An impairment charge is recorded in the amount by which the unamortized costs exceed the estimated fair value. Estimates of future revenue involve measurement uncertainties and it is therefore possible that reductions in the carrying value of film library costs may be required as a consequence of changes in management’s future revenue estimates. Included in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is amortization of film library totaling $6,459,431 and $1,378,869, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017, there was no material impairment charge recorded.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill & Acquired Intangible Assets Video Content License The Company has been granted a perpetual, exclusive license from CSS to utilize the Brand and related content, for visual exploitation on a worldwide basis (“Perpetual License”). In granting the Perpetual License, CSS required an initial purchase price of $5,000,000, which approximated its costs to CSS, and was paid by the Company during 2016. The Company has recorded the initial purchase price of the Perpetual License at the estimated cost to CSS. Popcornflix Film Rights and Other Assets Popcornflix film rights and other assets represents the direct-to-consumer online video service and application platform comprised of five ad-supported networks with rights to over 3,000 films and approximately 60 television series. Popcornflix is an indefinite-lived intangible and is not subject to amortization but annual impairment analysis. For our 2018 and 2017 annual impairment tests, we performed a qualitative impairment assessment of our assets. For the qualitative analysis we took into consideration all the relevant events and circumstances, including financial performance, macroeconomic conditions and entity-specific factors such as client wins and losses. Based on this assessment, we concluded that for each of our assets subject to the qualitative assessment, it is not “more likely than not” that its fair value was less than its carrying value; therefore, no additional testing was required. Pivotshare Acquired intangible assets of Pivotshare represent the fair value of its installed customer base, the non-compete obligation of the former chief executive officer and goodwill. The installed customer base and the non-compete are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value. Amortization is based upon management’s best estimate of useful lives, which is five years for the installed customer base and three years for the non-compete, which is the period it is in effect. We account for our business combinations using the acquisition accounting method, which requires us to determine the fair value of net assets acquired and the related goodwill and other intangible assets. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management's judgment and involves the use of significant estimates, including projections of future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives and market multiples. Considering the characteristics of AVOD and film distribution companies, our acquisitions usually do not have significant amounts of tangible assets, as the principal asset we typically acquire is talent and customer intel. As a result, a substantial portion of the purchase price is allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets. A Plus In accordance with ASC Subtopic 805-50, “Transactions between entities under common control”, acquired intangible assets of A Plus represent the carrying value as of the date of transfer, December 28, 2018. We review goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization as of December 31st each year and whenever events or significant changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our annual impairment review did not result in an impairment charge at any of our reporting units. In performing our annual impairment review, we would first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. Qualitative factors to consider may include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors that may have a negative effect on earnings, financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events such as changes in management, key personnel, strategy or clients, as well as pending litigation. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances such as those described above, an entity determines that it is "more likely than not" that the goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is required to determine the fair value and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying value. Otherwise, no additional testing is required. For our 2018 and 2017 annual impairment tests, we performed a qualitative impairment assessment for our assets. For the qualitative analysis we took into consideration all the relevant events and circumstances, including financial performance, macroeconomic conditions and entity-specific factors such as client wins and losses. Based on this assessment, we have concluded that for each of our assets subject to the qualitative assessment, it is not “more likely than not” that its fair value was less than its carrying value; therefore, no additional testing was required. For the year ended December 31, 2018, there was no impairment charge recorded.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740: Income Taxes , which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return, should be recorded in the financial statements. Pursuant to the authoritative guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it meets the “more likely than not” threshold that the position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position or expiration of statutes. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. In addition, the authoritative guidance addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods, and also requires increased disclosures. The Company includes interest and penalties related to its uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense within its consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities. See Note 13 for additional information.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Film Library Acquisition Obligations, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Film Library Acquisition Obligations Film library acquisition obligations represent amounts due in connection with the Company acquiring film distribution rights. Pursuant to the film distribution rights agreements, the Company’s right to distribute films may revert to the licensor in the event that the Company is unable to satisfy its financial obligations with respect to the acquisition of the related distribution rights.
Participation Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accrued Participation Costs The Company accrues for participation costs due to production companies and producers based on the respective agreements. Amounts due to production companies and producers are calculated based on gross revenue for each film after exceeding certain minimum targets. In addition, the Company must recoup its original investment in each film before such payments are due. Accrued participation costs are capitalized and amortized as part of the film library.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition Revenue from online digital distribution and VOD platforms are recorded when monthly activity is reported by advertisers. For theatrical releases, revenue is recorded after the theatrical release date and when box office proceeds reports are received. Revenue from all digital media distribution is included in online networks in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company licenses and distributes multi-film packages to its customers. Revenue from multi-film sales is allocated on a per title basis and recognized upon initial availability for exploitation by customers. In addition, the Company distributes DVDs and similar media to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of DVD units or similar media units to its customers. Provision for future returns and other allowances are established based upon historical experience.
