Does anyone here have any experience with distributing their short films through direct to dvd or online (probably more this route than dvd for short films) and do you think that, at least on a small scale, is something worth doing?
I am a filmmaker who is starting at the bottom of the ladder so to speak and I am setting myself goals as to which levels I reach as a filmmaker. I am starting with releasing short films on YouTube and then sending links to various sites that I think would be looking for specific types of films.
For me to get to the level of making films that are distributed on dvd would be a great achievement.
I guess the crux of this thread is to find others who have had success in distributing films online and those who have then gone on to distribute films via dvd/blu-ray etc. and if you would recommend this model early in one's career?
