We love all the platforms and services at the panel and frankly there has always been a combination of Rental, Transactional and Subscription and Ad-Supported / Free as a transactional driver business and we believe there always will be and all are sustainable and valuable and should be utilized together. We love Efe at The Auteurs and are very impressed with YouTube’s new model and hope it works well over time. We are helping filmmakers build their own brands and platforms as we build ours and connect them to all key revenue generating ones as well. Therein lies a total solution so filmmakers should not have to choose between parts. Platforms are stores, not distributors and just like all good brands, one’s film should be ubiquitous and for as long as the bigger platforms are key revenue generators and audience aggregators, we will continue to treat them all like stores, with no exclusivity -for the best health and sustainability of the filmmakers. And we don’t take rights either!

Thanks for your opinion, Roberta! I think the indie film world is enduring what the media industry at large is experiencing…a painful transition. Whether you’re a filmmaker or an indie rock band or a journalist, all media and entertainment makers and companies are struggling to make sense of the new economics. I found both this panel and the following one (video bloggers of “Political Lunch” from Blip.TV who discussed why they abandoned advertising and sponsorship in favor of paid-episode model) to be really enriching and productive. I will be blogging about their presentation shortly, stay tuned!

I am all for YouTube’s new rental system.
We as consumers have to be trained (as with all consumption) that art is something that
MUST be paid for in order for artists to continue making it.
