YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Google.... all of 'em are run by progressive / liberals who kick conservative speech to the curb through their algorithms.

Yikes! That's a big royalty cut! Will help bigger films, but pinch us indie film makers. Essentially a move to boost Amazon's profits.

This might be your biggest problem. I know that English copyright law is really strict compared to US law.

An email is like an argument -- not definitive proof like a written contract. Hope you're considering a major distributor that will do more than just get you on Amazon (Video Direct + rental) and possibly iTunes (usually not worth it), because that's about all that indie distributors do these...

Well here in America you would just show Democrats having their temper tantrums over Hillary Clinton's defeat. Their tired protests are nauseating.

Well iTunes is a colossal waste of money then. Thanks for the inside info.

No it isn't. I upload videos all the time that are automatically monetized because it's content that is distributed by Tunecore. Other people do to. I still get paid.

Does anyone have a movie distributed on BOTH iTunes AND Amazon Prime? If so what is the ratio of revenue between the two? I know that to get on iTunes, Distribber charges a $1,595 "delivery charge" and they have a reoccurring annual fee of $225 and they have a $200 "take-down fee". NO WAY I'm...

I can tell you that with audio releases (music, comedy, etc) subscriber count and all that doesn't matter. If you're with a distributor like Tunecore or Catapult then they collect royalties from any and every play of your content. Your content gets automatically identified. I'm sure that if...

Amazon Video On Demand. They'll take anything as long as there's quality audio, captions, etc.

Trailer was well put together. Lots of 1 star negative reviews actually. The movie starts off professional looking but later in the movie they cut corners with regard to the set and that really hurt the movie. But I just think it's the genre and overall initial impression. I suppose it's...

Perfect! I was able to add my title to Prime. I don't want to disclose the title since I revealed confidential revenue info, but it was a very ultra-low budget horror (15K) handled by Distribber. No promotion other than a YouTube trailer. It appears as though the movie just sells itself simply...

How do you get on Amazon Prime? I'm already with Amazon Video Direct. I can't remember if I opted out of Amazon Prime or if it was even an option. A friend of mine got their low budget indie movie up on Amazon Video Direct as well as for rent on Amazon. 99% of his sales were Amazon Prime! He...

Which of the major platforms give money back if the campaign fails? GoFundMe? KickStarter?

My understanding is that YOU have to do all of the legwork and promoting to get money for these funding sites in order to get any momentum. You can't just stick something up and there and expect random strangers to start donating money. Am I correct on this?

I wouldn't give it a second thought. Go out there and do it! Do you really want to pay that $850 or whatever outrageous permit fee they charge? Make it look like you're shooting a birthday party or something for home enjoyment. Furthermore I was told by an attorney regarding some footage that...

Found this post with an actual Shami Media contract. http://www.filmmakerforum.org/distribution/3861-got-distribution-contract-shami-media-got-any-feedback.html Looks to be a signing over of copyrights -- not a licensing deal as it should be! Also it's "less any and all expenses, costs or...

And Hollywood has been looking the other way because he supports the democrat party. Typical Hollywood hypocrisy.

This just goes to show you that screenplay contests are just about worthless. Obviously no producers, agents or production companies are paying any attention to these contests. Let us know if anything comes of it. BTW I listed my script on inktip and only one no-name company (that I've never...

It also takes a ton of work to build a channel. You have to post videos at least once per week. Once per day would be better. Jenna Marbles was lucky enough to have one video go viral (How to trick people into thinking you're good looking). That's what got her on her way. But thinking you're...
