PUMit claims to offer internet VOD + PayPal ability & other distribution/monetizing options for filmmakers/content owners

One of my wishes for some time now has been that someone would invent a free or very affordable system/technology that would allow individual filmmakers to deliver their films over the web to customers AFTER the customers have paid for it using PayPal or some other popular, easy to use payment system.

There are already internet VOD companies that can do the work for you; but the actual work, download data, pricing, etc. is a couple of steps removed from the filmmaker at this point - or the filmmaker submits the film to a company/distribution service, they sell it over the web, & give the filmmakers a share of the revenue - that's generally how things work in internet VOD at the moment.

The kind of service/technology I want to see in existence would make the "middle person business" optional; filmmakers being able to sell their films directly to audiences, collect money, etc. - if they wish. On certain projects this may be a useful option to have (and this is also an interest arising from my drive to find gatekeeper free options for indie film production & distribution, since the gatekeepers - studios, critics, distribution companies, film fest programmers, etc. - have not served many & many kinds of filmmakers well in the past).

PUMit seems to be offering just that kind of technology and service (don't know how much, if any, it costs) to content producers. From PUMit's site, info. page:

"For different period of time and authorized countries, you can allow your audience to preview a part of your film and you define the conditions to be fulfilled to watch your film."

And:

"PUMit provides comprehensive dashboards to help you tracking the sales of your films, to analyze their audience, to understand where and how they are watched."

PUMit offers the ability to offer paid VOD, sponsored VOD, & free VOD to consumers. Explore more here.

Introduce us to your favorite painters & paintings.

There's a PBS (i think) show on French painters right now. Other, older, forms of art, & the people who made them, can be inspirational & useful for filmmakers I think. I've learned a lot from indie rock (some aesthetic stuff, lots of bidness stuff), maybe I can learn stuff from painting too. So in July & August I am going to blog about painters & I would like you to comment & tell us about your favorite painters & other interesting stuff about painting. Painting is thousands of years old. Filmmaking is a little over 100 years old. US Indie filmmaking as we know it is perhaps a little over 50 years old (w/ the beginning somewhere around the time when the Cassavetes generation got its inspiration/started work). Us new indie filmmakers - the digital/web/DIY generation, can probably learn a lot by taking a look at/getting to know, painting & other older art forms. I'll start w/ Edward Hopper . Here's page w/ a lot of info on him. His most famou...
