Two years ago, the word on the street said that all the undiscovered talent was on the Internet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sites like Ifilm.com<\/a> and Atomfilm.com were getting unknown talents onto A-list movies. Lately, we aren\u2019t hearing anything like that. Is the Internet dead for distribution? Hardly. Broadband, and other faster Internet connections are making it even MORE viable to get your movie seen. <\/span><\/p>\n

Everyday more people get faster Internet which means you can put higher quality movies on the net and generate an audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Movies like \u201c405 The Movie\u201d, \u201cTroops\u201d, \u201cGeorge Lucas In Love\u201d, showed that the Internet can elevate unknown filmmakers into the stratosphere. All of those filmmakers landed feature movie deals. <\/span><\/p>\n

And the BMWFILM.COM lot starring Madonna, Clive Owen, & Mickey Rourke showed that Hollywood bigwigs, like directors Ang Lee, John Frankenheimer (R.I.P.), and Guy Ritchie are willing to do short films for the Net in style.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is the Internet good for feature films? Not yet. There are already some \u2013 www.movieflix.com and www.cinemanow.com already streaming feature length films, but the quality is dreadful. They do both buy the distribution rights to indie films, but the price is so low, it\u2019s not gonna reimburse your craft services bill.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Internet is still ripe for SHORT FILMS, even movies shot on DV. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since they are shorter, you can make a manageable, easy-to-download sized file that even people with a 56K modem (you know, the Amish) can download. Virtually every single editing software package now includes some kind of OUTPUT FOR THE WEB feature.
