As the first linear stream internet powered platform of its kind, itzon is taking the independent filmmaker to the forefront of Internet delivered TV. itzon is an online monthly film festival and digital broadcast platform, designed to discover and showcase exceptional film content and to provide an innovative and fully interactive online marketing service for filmmakers.
There is no fee to submit to itzon and successful submissions will compete for cash prizes, media exposure, and promotion of their film. The top film in each category will be recognized, with winners receiving up to £1,000 GBP in cash prizes every month, software and hardware prizes and feedback to Distributors, Broadcasters, Commissioning Editors and Creative Directors.
How it's different:
• itzon looks like a TV channel and not like an internet video hosting website with a continual live stream of content being played;
• films are shown three times in a single day of scheduled programming;
• then they are placed in the VoD system for 30 days - time enough time to gather feedback to help with pitches to broadcasters, and earn revenue from VoD views, but not damage chances of a worldwide distribution deal by having the film online available to view for a lengthy period;
• the facility allows audience and fans to have a say in which films receive the monthly festival awards, and lets viewers support filmmakers by purchasing DVD’s, soundtracks or any other merchandise associated with the film.
If you'd like to see what itzon will look like, there's a demo video here: www.itzon.tv
We really look forward to receiving your film.
