Broken Hearts Club is the movie that just keeps on giving. I received word today that we’d sealed a deal with FlickLaunch. Flick Launch is in beta and uses the Facebook fan page platform to stream movies. With FlickLaunch, Facebook friends can “LIKE” the film page to gain access to the movie. The first 100 viewings will be absolutely FREE. After that friends will pay $1-5 to stream the movie in a 640 x 360 window (16 x 9) resizeable to full screen. Films follow the generally accepted guidelines of the MPAA. Broken Hearts Club is unrated, but would most likely receive a R rating if it were rated.
Just in: new online platform licensing with Veoh via a 50/50 rev share and they (Veoh) place the ads. There is a 25% cap on the net, so fees and commissions of any sort cannot be over 25% of the total revenue. They appear to be a quality top of the line Online platform. They report quarterly and pay no later than within 45 days of the quarter. We’ll see.
Meanwhile – I am expecting quarterly reports from Fetch TV here shortly.
Also, Flix On Stix apparently had an influx of funding (I hear) and Broken Hearts Club is first on the list. They sound positive that soon BHC will be available …on your Flash Drive!
True to my plan, I’m using a hybrid model of self-distribution. The film has been airing on AMGTV for the past two months as a six-part series. Today the film was officially released on IndieFlix (http://www.indieflix.com/film/the-broken-hearts-club-30432/), available for immediate viewing and for purchase on DVD. Later this month the film will also be available on Amazon for DVD purchase and Amazon UnBox as a video download.
Next month the film will finally go to Western Europe on the Global Broadcast Network. I say finally because Global has delayed its official launch three times in the past four months.
Retro Television Network (RTV) is still in the works. They have a copy of the six-part series version of BHC.
IndieFlix is dedicated to providing a forum for filmmakers and their audience to interact and to building a community that translates artistic vision into commercial success.
We believe that every movie has an audience, every filmmaker has a story to tell and each story has the right to be shared.
Baqsically IndieFlix is for indies by indies and that’s the kind of support indie filmmakers need.
