New Models Of Financing And Distribution

by William Speruzzi on 06/18/2007

I’ve been watching the three part Q&A with Peter Broderick (remember New Wave Films) on Scott Kirsner’s excellent site CinemaTech. Broderick discusses the recent Cannes Festival, current financing and DIY distribution models and downloading films via the internet. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re an independent filmmaker looking for current info on financing and distribution.

Also, Four Eyed Monsters creators Arin Crumley and Susan Buice are offering their film in its 72 minute entirety on YouTube and if you sign up for free with Spout, an online film recommendation community, a $1 will go to the filmmaker’s debt. As of writing this they have raised around $24,000. Regardless of how you feel about the film, the way they have used the internet to get the word out is something that deserves a little recognition. I know it’s been a long, hard road for them.

    Awesome post. I watched Four Eyed Monsters – considering doing a story on it – and I thought it was an interesting film…very experimental. I wonder if they should have made something a little more mainstream in order to generate more income, though.

    LOL here I am advocating the commercialization of films. I am such a sell out.
