Forgive me if this has already been 'threaded', but a quick search didn't pull up anything...
The indie film 'Strictly Sexual', was the number one watched film on Hulu for a while. (it still appears prominently on the website)

(google - hulu and strictly sexual and you'll get a lot more info)
The title makes it sound racy, but it's more of a 'romantic comedy/drama'. It was made for £100,000 and apparently has made a fortune on Hulu. (10 times the budget claims the producer)
My understanding of Hulu is the website gives you 50% of the ad revenues your content generates. This sounds good, but doesn't really give us an idea of how many hits you need to make, say $1000?
Has anyone here distributed their film via Hulu? Thinking about it? Does anyone know more about the ad revenue breakdowns?
Unfortunately for us people living in Britain, we can't access Hulu, but I know a lot of my friends stateside use it daily, especially Hulu+. Does anyone know how many commercials they implement into your film?
I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, when Hulu first launched, it was more aimed at non commercial content, but now it has a lot of network/main stream entertainment.
At this point, I'm seriously looking at Hulu as a possibility. I like the idea of people able to view the film for free, but I can still make a profit.
Your guys' thoughts?
