About Indie distribution and platforms

Hello everyone, is there someone could help me? I'm trying to distribute our shortfilms via indie platforms like filmhub.com and I would like to know your experience if used it. Any options/platforms that works for small indie production? Thank you in advance :)

First, submit to Indie Rights. If they don't take it, go to film hub. If your movie has some star power you could think about going somewhere like Gravitas Ventures or Vertical. Film Hub is nice to have as an option but realistically should be a last resort for distribution.

Just put on YouTube for free. Shorts don't generally make any money, unless you package together and make into a feature. If you're set on self distribution, FilmHub is great for sure. Best wishes to you!

Thank you so much for these advices! Really appreciated :)

I’ve had a short on Filmhub for close to a year. It went out to several platforms, but there’s been zero revenue so far.

Comparatively, the same short is listed for sale and rental on Prime Video, and it makes about $200 a year there.

Mathias, I would ask yourself what is your primary goal for distributing these? Is it financial? Is it exposure? Is it industry cred? Each of these might steer you toward a different platform(s), as some have already mentioned here. I would let your purpose dictate where you put them.
