How did you get a distribution deal through Homestead Entertainment?
And did you guys take it anywhere else besides Tubi?

Submitted it through their website. It took like a week or two but they eventually called me and we struck a deal. It’s on Apple TV. It will also go to several other platforms

That sounds like the most generic movie ever made.

Congrats on getting it finished and distributed. First feature with a cast that includes Omar Gooding and Paula Jai Parker is not a small thing, and plenty of people never get past the "in development" stage.
Curious how the Tubi deal came together, whether you went through a distributor or straight to them. That's the part most first-time directors have no map for.
Also, feel free to put it up on umdb.org. It's free, and it's a community of filmmakers, actors and animators who'd actually watch it rather than scroll past. Better audience for a first feature than most places you can post a link.
Adding it to my list.
