I'm pretty sure DIY content producers don't make any $, whereis "produced" content always needs to recoup. What kind of deals do iTunes or AtomFilms make for independently "produced" short film content, e.g. how much of that $1.99 does Apple keep? <br /><br /> This question is coming from a short film maker reseraching the potential investor return on an independently produced short to be distributed on-line and for mobile devices. Any insight would be helpfull. It seems like there's a boom happening, but what does it mean for the indie? How does that extra source of income affect the ideal budget for a short? How forward looking can I make my forward looking statement ? :] post:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.44714 Fri, 18 Aug 2006 10:25:28 -0800 andrewyakovlev short film distribution iTunes Atom Films video content http://ask.metafilter.com/44714/Sell-short-online-and-on-phone#684911 PS: Also this is in light of the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/itunes/itunes-movie-store-expected-to-launch-later-this-year-says-movie-studio-195115.php">information</a> that Apple is moving into film distribution and <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/video/first-look-amazons-digital-video-service-195174.php">Amazon</a> as well. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.44714-684911 Fri, 18 Aug 2006 10:38:54 -0800 andrewyakovlev
