Dear Filmmakers!
We're launching a new enterprise aimed at getting some much needed attention for all the awesome independent short films in the world that don't get an agent, distributor or YouTube front page.
It's called Coffee Shorts (www.coffeeshorts.co.uk), and takes advantage of emeddable web clips and social networks to get indie short filmmakers views and some cold hard cash (or at least cold hard Paypal) from advertisers and revenue share programs like Google and Metacafe.
We promise audiences good quality free to view indie shorts with no filler, home movies, booty shaking or funny cats, no sign up, membership, download charges or restricted access, just cool short films.
We've only just got started with a selection of our own films, and we're looking for submissions of the absolute best short films for online screening through the following channels;
Coffee Shorts
Metacafe (who power our clips)
Metrofunk (official trendsetter)
Yuwie
Myspace
iFilm
Facebook
Bebo (official media partner)
Digg
Delicious
Propeller
SumbleUpon
Reddit
And we're just working out partnership deals with Blinkx, Blast IPTV and numerous others.
This isn't yet another network you have to join up to, add friends, poke people or anything else on, we do all that for you as your non-exclusive distributor, and pay you a share of the network income every quarter based on how many views your film has had, in alpha testing, filmmakers earned at around $4 per 1000 views purely from the Google ads on our site.
If you want to get a better idea of what we're doing drop by and check things out;

We look forward to seeing your films!
