Spaceship 1 movie - 53 Spaceships movie - blog - also DIY Filmmaker blog

This was a very long comment written for this post at Truly Free Film blog (also related to this post at this blog), but due to it's length, I couldn't leave it at the TFF blog's comments section, so here it is: "Hey David from biracy.com, I just signed up for your info alert. Good luck with the new venture. Anyway, to all: would most indie filmmakers pay $1000 a year (that's about $84 a month) to make sure someone promoted & distributed on a regular basis (even passively distributed - made available to interested customers & or free viewers in whatever media) their $10K or so indie feature? Probably, I know I probably would - specially if the distro work being paid for brings in either some useful exposure & or more than $1K in sales (over 100 DVDs at $10 each would do that). So, let's say 1000 filmmakers buy into such a service (a company promoting their finished real indie features on a regular - daily or weekly - basis all year long f...

Invent a system/business/community/cult/whatever where the owners of the indie movies can pay a reasonable amount of money in order to make their movies 1) available for interested audiences to buy & view, and 2) the movies are well publicized, and 3) the owners of the films have a reasonable chance to make some money back & may even be able to make a profit. Let me know when you do it, I'll try out your service. Backstory: Re: the $50 million figure: If 5,000 of the indie features being submitted to Sundance each year cost $10,000 on average to make & promote (at the pre-distribution, film fest application level) then $50 million is being spent by indie filmmakers. Even if the actual amount of money being spent is 1/2 of my estimate, that's still a lot of money. I think the actual amount being spent by indie filmmakers in America on production & marketing is probably several times more than $50 million a year - but, for ease of discussion, let's go wi...

At a new blog post Mark Cuban writes about an idea called TV Everywhere , and also goes a bit into the economics of free content: "As is always the case, many people think tv programming should be widely available for free on the internet. Of course the content is never free. Someone has to pay to create it and we purchasers of cable and satellite services pay the subscription fees that pay the content companies and allow them to create all that content. Someone always must pay for free. Its unfortunate that there are some incredibly greedy people who think their entertainment needs should be subsidized." Read the rest of the post here .
