Diary of a Film Startup: Post # 37: Cutting Checks, et cetera

We want you films

Cutting Checks

We’re now cutting checks to filmmakers for Q2 2013. Very satisfying. It takes a while, since VoD outlets tend to pay 60-90 days after the end of the quarter that the film made money. And then Kinonation has to process the cash, take our 20% and PayPal the rest to the content owner. Not simple, not fast — but we’re doing it and this month will see payments to some of our amazing filmmakers. How much can you make? It’s hundreds at a minimum if you do nothing or if your film just isn’t very good. It’s thousands if your film is good, genuinely impressive. It is tens of thousands if your film is outstanding. And that’s the bottom line — how do you make your film, and the marketing & distribution of your film — outstanding rather than just festival average? 

New Outlets

We’re busy signing deals with VoD outlets around the world.
