Content is King

I've got an important question for you...Got a 24/48/72 hrs Film Challenge sitting on a shelf? Got a short film dying to be seen? Got your killer independent movie trailer that need, nay deserves more exposure? Well we want to see it. View from Above Entertainment is looking for original content for promotion and distribution and we are extending an invitation to all you indie filmmakers out there. We want you!

The best submitted projects will be published in the VFA distribution channel; which includes, the Horizon Community and The Big 10 of online video outlets: Youtube, Metacafe, Break, Revver, Crackle, Daily Motion, Blip TV, Veho, Viddler, and Imeem.

I know what you're thinking, " I already have my video on Myspace/Facebook/Youtube" or " I'm a movie maker, I don't need my stuff online". Well consider this:

Data shows that exposure INCREASES across the board as you post to multiple sites
By partnering your content with other, or "cross-pollination", you can exponentially increase your audience.
Online video has become on of the top priorities for marketing budgets in 2009

Now, old videos aren't you first, or maybe even fifth priority. But, you spent a lot of time and energy on that little gem. Doesn't it deserve more than a single showing? Even better, how would you like to and an established audience clamoring for that new project you're working on?

Send a message to mailto:submissions@viewfromabove.net for more information. Your brilliance deserves it!

Watch Over Me goes gaga for GoGo

Another gem for filmmakers is on the scene...IndieGoGo. It is a site geared towards giving filmmakers tools to help raise funds and promote their projects. Now we are all interested in anything that might make the long hard road of filmmaking that much easier. To that end, we are putting Indiegogo to the test.

Take a look at each of the sites. Let us know which one like/feels/moves better to you.
