Although independent (sometimes downright quirky) flicks often sell-out - and tend to be popular at film festivals - it's still a tough row-to-hoe when it comes to pacting a distribution deal with the majors.
To combat that problem - and rustle up a bit of exposure for the fledgling projects - Sundance Film Institute has launched a project for simultaneous screenings on a handful of the largest video sites on the web such as Apple (iTunes), Google (YouTube), Amazon.com, Netflix, Hulu, and Rainbow Media (SundanceNow).
The filmmakers will retain the rights to their films pursuant to the novel terms of a non-exclusive screening agreement.
There is another plus, too.
The artists will share in a percentage of the Ad revenues and garner fees from rentals and purchases, too.
See 'ya at the movies online!
