Stacey Parks wrote the excellent book, ‘The Insider’s Guide to Independent Film Distribution.’ She’s recognized as one of the indie film world’s most knowledgeable people when we talk about distribution, but the MeDeploy plan only surfaced after her last book, so I wonder what she thinks of this new service to aid indie film makers get their films sold via the internet.
MeDeploy have designed a pay-media distribution to be incorporated straight on to websites, social networks, blogs and to use web widgets. The API allows complete control over look, layout and function.
It allows video download to own, digital rental and on demand sales distribution to be added to mobile devices. The dashboard allows clients to manage all content, sales and distribution easily.
It’s available in two versions: professional at £199.95 per month while indie, with up to two films, can be used for $19.95 per month.
They say that everything is included:
• media transcoding,
• content management,
• media storage and delivery,
• anti-piracy tools,
• secure credit card processing and much more.
There’s a revenue share model for both professional and indie (higher for professional) which enables content holders to build a digital video distribution business with a distribution platform that scales as business grows. All without risk, or the excessive costs usually associated with introducing a digital media business.
Filmmakers out there who want to test the waters prior to signing up can get started with a free 30-day trial: just visit www.medeploy.com
Please let us know what you think, once you’ve used it. We’ve not tried it ourselves yet so we can’t comment yet, so please do.
Looking forward to Stacy Parks’ view.
