Today at the SXSW Film + Interactive Conference, online video platform Vimeo launched its Vimeo On Demand program, a new distribution feature that will allow content creators to sell films and webisodes directly to viewers. 
Creators with a subscription Vimeo Pro account can set their own prices, streaming periods, and region parameters for content, and earn 90% of the revenue share. Vimeo On Demand will be viewable across Vimeo-enabled platforms including online and mobile, tablets, and connected TVs. A handful of feature-length films are already available for pay-per-view viewing for prices ranging from $2-$9 for rental or download via Vimeo, including Academy Award-nominated director Don Hertzfeldt’s It’s Such A Beautiful Day, which screened before today’s announcement in Austin.

this is awesome! needs to come on Xbox…
This is the future of film making. The days of distributors controlling content is soon to be over. The only thing people will be seeing in ten years at the theater is the one or two tent pole films that get made in 3D. The rest is going to be living room on demand, with viewer tastes winning.
agreed!
Damn right this is the future! Between content creators like myself and audiences – fans of the work created…around the world.
Keep out the agents, producers, stars, studio suits and all the MFKers kissing assing HWD elite who continually tell us “You can’t do what they do because we don’t have enough money or distribution.”
If TARANTINO was starting today? With no money and not even the cast he had in R. DOGS? He’d do R. DOGS with DSLR or a RED or even a BLACK MAGIC CINEMA and do it with hungry, unknown. acting talents…and he’d be going to VIMEO. If HOPPER was shooting EASY RIDER now, doing the same. Scorscese and TAXI DRIVER? The same. I know they go on and on about film and they can. They got the money. They can get anyone they want to be in their films. They’re SIMPLY in the system. But…
..they’ve totally forgotten what it was like to be outside the system; banging on the doors with tons of talent; a hard work ethic and sacrifices to make just to get to those door. Just to bang on them. They’re simply, mother fucking NOT hungry anymore.
I am. My audience is. And they’re global. Bring on the new HOLLYWOOD. Burn the old one down.
you’re ignorant on so many levels
If Vimeo can get an app on every Playstation, Xbox, Wii, smart tv, Roku box, Apple TV box, & Blu-rays player then this will be the biggest thing to happen to indie film in a long time. I have a movie I produced that was distributed on DVD back in 2006 but the company that released it went out of business and I have distribution rights back and have been deciding what to do with it. This is an avenue I would like to try & if it’s successful, I might distribute the movie I’m in post production on now on Vimeo too.
