Getting Distribution for your Movie - Part 2

Following up on the article I posted a while ago, here's another fabulous page that talks about how indie video content producers (shorts, features etc) can now use the internet to get movie distribution.

This is just amazing stuff. I really need to try getting a couple of my shorts out there, perhaps even Orange and see how it goes. After all the two biggest hurdles to getting a movie actually made that most people on my team ask are: where are we going to get money to make this movie, and how are we going to make money off of this movie?

So now besides the 75+ home video companies, movie "premieres" in Atlanta and elsewhere in artsy theatres and standing on the street corner selling DVDs...this is yet another option.

Long Live the Long-Tail :)
Of course, now that's just so much more competition to stand out from as well :(

Suggestions to Avis

1. If I am already logged into my account at avis.com, don't ask me for my contact information when I go to your feedback/help page. How hard is it to do that?
2. Why doesn't Avis rent out hybrid cars? - Or any rental car company for that matter.
3. Why can't I add my Delta Skymiles number to my online avis profile?
