    TFC Tidbit of the Day 16 - Qualifying for Academy Award Consideration for Documentary Filmmakers Just because a documentary doesn't get a theatrical distribution deal doesn't mean it can't be considered for an Academy Award. Since many great docs don't get distributed theatrically, many filmmakers choose to qualify the film themselves. But it’s not cheap.

    TFC Tidbit of the Day 11 - Ad Supported Platforms Platforms such as YouTube, Snag Film and Babelgum are all based on ad-supported revenue (though we recommend using it to drive transactional and for PR). Hulu was ad-supported but has moved into a subscription model. YouTube is the SECOND LARGEST search engine in the world with 2 billion views per day and is monetizing over a billion views per week globally.

    TFC Tidbit of the Day 6 - Windows for digital content Windows are a reference to release windows, the prescribed time gaps between which films are released in different media. Make windowing deliberate rather than confusing the customer with scattered pricing in different formats and releases. The preferred release schedule should be: Cable & Satellite VOD; then Transactional; then Rental; then Ad-Supported platforms; then Mobile/Wireless. In the next tidbits, there will be examples of each of these platforms.

    Jon Reiss Tip of the Day – Week 7
    This week’s tips concern the re-born “theatrical” movement in the US and around the world for independent film. I’m a firm believer that film should be screened in front of live audiences – which is one form of our millennia old tradition of telling stories in a communal environment – usually in the dark (in the old days in front of a fire). (ps it’s a 4 day week in honor of Memorial Day weekend) Tip 31 Embrace Live Event/Theatrical
