1. Allows filmmakers to self distribute their films.
2. Gives 100% pay-per-view revenue to Indie Filmmaker
3. Provide Indie Film Marketing & Sales
4. Business support with sales reports and analytics of fans views and purchases.
5. A long-term sales revenue strategy for other outlets being added including, cable, payTV (Amazon, etc) sites, and (Apple, Google, etc).
About FLM.TV
FLM.TV began as a passion project to help Indie Films generate revenue four years ago. What we found were a number of complex issues that prevented long successful careers for Independent Filmmakers. When we compared Indie Film to successful Hollywood Studios who had a measure of repeatable success, we found that in order for Indie Filmmaker to be successful we needed to replicate these areas for Indie Filmmakers.
Lets review what we found about large Hollywood studios:
* Successful and highly viewed films.
*They have large budgets for hiring successful actors and crew reducing risk to Investor/Studio.
* Next, these large studios have fans that follow movie brands. Sometimes films would be from the sequel to a previously well known film or well known actors or directors.
* A team of accountants, marketing, distribution, sales, tech and publicity to support a new film.
* Long standing Distribution deals with Theaters, DVD Domestic and International and online.
* And of course, revenue.
When reviewed the Indie Filmmaker model, here is what we found:
* Incredibly creative films
* Sometimes very low budgets for producing films.
* LIttle to now marketing or advertising budget
* No distribution and often waiting for Film Festival results which can take up to 6 months
* Only 5% - 10% of Indie films receive Festival awards or distribution.
* Films without successful revenue or fans have it difficult to find additional funds for next film.
So, where did that leave us? To build a new kind of online distribution site designed to solve some of the specific needs of Indie Films. We wanted to give 100% of the pay-per-view revenue back to you, the filmmaker. And we knew we had to build sales, marketing and distribution using technology to create the most efficient and effective way to promote, distribute and deliver your film. After 2 years of development, FLM.TV discovered a way find fans and match then to your film with the innovative use of our technology. We found it was important to not just be on an online site, but to be able to find fans who would most likely want to view your film and make it available to them. We use social aggregation to drive the process. So the public decides your success and you have the analytic and reports to share with investors.
Finally, Filmmakers often face difficult decision navigating through the choices which can include the timing of film releasing, distribution, festivals, etc. Whatever, the filmmaker choses. FLM.TV wants to be there for distribution and be a part of the long revenue and success of the Indie Filmmaker. Not all films are a success as its all deemed by the public, but in our eyes Indie Films deserve to be found by fans who will love them.
