Self Film Distribution made eaiser

Self film distribution is on the move, no longer is the platform limited to showing your project at film festivals in hopes of sales agents offering negative pick up deals.  The digital marketing world can help establish independent filmmakers with online opportunities increasing public awareness.

Self-Distribution Websites:

With the help of sites like, SnagFilm, Open Film and Indie-A-Go Go for example, these sites raise revenue, sell ad space and share the revenue percentage with the licensee keeping all rights. SnagFilm and Indie-A-Go Go, also offer the filmmakers to earn full revenue from any DVD distribution deals.

Mopix is the newest addition to the self-distribution world and it’s currently in a beta stage. It’s an application-based platform for content. Filmmakers or distributors can upload all content they would normally put on a deluxe DVD. The price is set by the filmmaker and is made available for viewing using the Mopix application.

Launched recently, Stonehenge Production’s Film applications are also custom designed for each client and include such features as social media integration, social activism components, games and in-application purchase options. The filmmaker maintains 100% of the revenue generated from a Stonehenge developed application and is only charged a startup cost of $680.

Each year there are more and more website dedicated  to launch film projects to assist indie filmmakers with distribution. Filmmakers no longer need traditional distribution method with the advacement of technology.
