Does anyone have any experience selling their film to this company?
I have been offered a deal, they're paying almost nothing, I don't know. They said a non exclusive contract but there is actually 6 months of exclusivity and they have the option to expand the contract...

The thing is that I don't think the film has huge commersial value anyway, so even if it is I shitty contract I might do it. What do you think? Ayone who has sold their film to shortsinternational? (shortstv?)

Aside from this post looking like a fishing expedition..

That web site looks pretty legit. I think they are the SHORTS channel I get on DISH NETWORK.
It passes my first level "Is this a scam" check..
I has not yet passed my "Is it a rip off" test, I need more data.

On first blush, I would be inclined to seriously consider any opportunity they provide.

Based on their About page, I'd probably go for it as long as the contract isn't taking too many rights. A 6-month exclusivity isn't too bad. And just remember, all contracts are negotiable. If you don't like a particular part of what they're offering, then let them know you'd like it changed. They might tell you it can't be, or that they won't, and if they do that, then you decide whether it's really important to you. Like I said, I think I'd go for it if it were me.
