SnagFilms will ALWAYS stream films to consumers free of charge.
We believe in the power of user distributed content. We stream our films and our economic model is based on advertising. We up sell films in DVD format so users can own the films they love in that manner.
We want to build a huge audience and an active distribution community and we have. In another month, our widgets will appear on 250 million pages for that month!
We are streaming millions of films per month.
Free is the way to go for us. No paid curtains or walls for us. I promise. Read this article.
Fantastic. You are defining the model. Such a journey to go from sitting in the theater at the AFI Silver Spring listening to your keynote address to cap the International Documentary Film Conference in June of 2007 as you talked about the documentary film distribution bottle neck, your vision to connect the filmmakers and audience directly, eliminating the bottleneck, with talk of widgets, promoting charitable organizations, generating funds for same, volunteerism, social change though the use of the most powerful medium of our time-film, links, cookies, algorithms (was not surprised when ASK.COM changed it’s official title to ASK THE ALGORITHM ;-j, filmanthropy, empowerment of the individual, and more; then to see it come to life in Snagfilms.com BETA, track with snagfilms.com into ALPHA, and watch it on the launchpad in the final stages just before take-off.
I might liken the current state of things to a space shuttle just as the ignition sparks shower the rockets in the final seconds of the countdown.
I have been tracking along closely since that hopeful keynote, and as of November 12 2008, Snagfilms.com has served as one of three key pillars on which I have been standing in my work of the past year.
Thank you Ted, family, all those at Snagfilms.com, the filmmakers and industry, and most of all, everyone out there with a screen who thirsts for enrichment, empowerment, and seeks to live life with this phenomenal new element in our world. Viva la revolution de media nuevo!
