Hello all,
I am an independent filmmaker who is looking to find ways to distribute my short films. I am already running a website in which I add short films and I categorize them by language and genre. I am planning to add a page to my website called 'Premium Short films' which means that the filmmakers can charge money from the people watching their short films. The key difference between the other VOD and this system are the following
Each filmmaker can give me their paypal button link by incorporating all the changes they need. Like price, custom text etc. You can also create a re-directing link when the transaction is cancelled and a re-directing link when the transaction goes through. If someone pays to watch your film, you can redirect them to the place where they can watch your film. It can be a private link in youtube, it can be a vimeo link or your own website link, or even you can get their email ids and send them a link with password to watch.
I don't want any money out of this because, I am just trying to collaborate with all filmmakers and form our own distribution platform instead of depending on a percentage based distribution. What do you guys think? Will this work? See the link below to get an idea of how I categorize movies based on different genres.

Waiting for your comments so we can start this and see how it goes.
