Hi Jerome, I'm new to Stage 32, thanks for the invitation to connect. I have a documentary that was made about 10 years ago, before DVD's and self distribution. When it was released it had plenty of buzz, quotes, won audience awards, made the Oscar short list -- unfortunately we choose the wrong distributor and the film was lost in the shuffle. Because of the timeless nature of the film I'd like to try self distribution now. Do you have any recommendations or model for the 're-release' of a documentary like this? I appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks! Roberta
Hello, fellow filmmakers. My name is Bobby Peoples. I am the CEO of CheapflicksTV. CheapflicksTv is a newly released channel available on the Roku device. One of the things that separate CheapflicksTv from other independent film streaming channel is that we will split subscription revenue with the content providers. No more promoting to people to watch your content on a platform to get more money. With our unique revenue sharing model as long as your content is on the platform your content will collect a royalty check. Now filmmakers can do what they do best: and that’s to produce more movies and not have to create a marketing campaign to get views. We've been in existence for a little over 6 months. We're are looking for short and feature films to distribute on our platform non-exclusively. We are open to all genres. The average content provider now is making $3 a month. We know it's not a lot, we are working hard to get subscribers as well. However, that's more than what most filmmakers make uploading their 10-minute short film to YOUTUBE. So it basically boils down to the more subscribers the more money each content providers make. We release NEW movies on the first of each month. So if you have a movie you've made years ago and it's just sitting there, let us reintroduce it to some new fans of independent films across the country. We would love for you to consider having your movie on our platform. Please use the link below to submit your content and create an account if you're still interested.
