Hello IndieTalk.
My name is Dwight and I am the founder of an upcoming web based tv network for independent film makers.
I understand it is hard for the little man like my self to get our material out in the open for thousands and
even millions of people to see. I know there's Youtube and Vimeo but its really hard for a hand
full of people to see your content.... But what if there was a network that broadcasted your brand new
show or movie to millions of subscribers? And yes I wrote millions. What if instead of paying an
"aggregator" like Distribber 1500 bucks to "possibly" get your work on Netflix, you pay a fee of
$399.99 to receive not 60 not 70 but 80% of all royalties from pre-roll ads. I had a monetized video on
youtube last year were they would play pre roll ads before my video. In 2 months time I got 100,000 plus
views and did not receive a dime. I guess that's one of the reasons why I created this network. To have
nothing but independent film maker work presented to the masses and they walk away with royalties from
their projected doing well.
But anyway I got sidetracked. I just want to do a survey of people who love independent films and making them. Would Sign up for a service where you shows and movies can be presented directly to the masses? Even if you did not want to pay a fee of 399.99 to receive all royalties you could still submit your work to have it seen to a wide range of individuals.
What about you individuals that just love watching and supporting indie films? Would you pay a small fee from $4.99-$6.99 to have access to these movies and show? I've seen a lot of independent movies and films that are way more creative and interesting than the stuff on Netflix and Hulu.
Thank you guys for your opinion ahead of time!
Best Regards
