So the path to a more "democratic" distribution scheme is to make the festival: 1) online and free 2) first round is "viewer's choice" most popular 3) ultimately still judged by media conglomerates who do the actual distributing? It's the last part (fourth part of the process in this video) that I don't understand. Who EXACTLY decides if the movie is distributed, studio executives? If that's the case, what makes this process different from the way it has always worked in the past?
You know, it's not gonna be easy. It's not always gonna be fun, but in time all of us will truly have the chance to do this thing we love so much without having a leesh to tug. It's wonderful to be a filmmaker right now with all you wonderful people because there's so much to look forward to.
This is the wrong first step to take, you're assuming that filmmakers know about the internet as an effective medium to showcase their work. Instead, you should proactively participate in film festivals (sundance, slamdance...) and be PROACTIVE and talk to the filmmakers about the possibility of releasing their movie online. Of course, most of them will try to major retail distribution first, but you are their last hope, and there is nothing for them to lose. This is how you should START.
