This new platform is part of our commitment to supporting the independent filmmaking community by providing more opportunities for them to delight film loving audiences, build a loyal following beyond the existing Festival window. VOD and streaming services offer independent film-makers – especially self-distributed and pre-distribution films - access to an audience that is otherwise impossible to reach. A number of festivals (e.g. Sundance, Raindance and SXSW) have embraced technology and view VOD streaming services as a tool that extends the lifetime of the revenue generating capability of a particular festival.
