Major Online Distributors
Variety put up an article last night on four online distributors: iTunes, Amazon, Jaman and Indiflix. Here's a highlight:
- iTunes has been recently making deals with smaller indie distributors such as New Video. Their deals are with distributors unless you're a Sundancer, Joss Whedon, or NBC.
- Amazon Unbox uses Createspace to let filmmakers upload their movies and sell downloads via Amazon. Filmmakers get 50% royalties.
- Jaman offers 1/3 of revenues to self distributing filmmakers. 90% arthouse or international films.
- Indieflix offers 70% of revenues. It's a one stop DIY shop and offers various forms of movie delivery including downloads and DVDs. Nonexclusive arrangement.
