Congratulations Rick!

I believed the film would do well at festivals. And I was right (of course!)

Cheers guys.

Thanks for your support. What with Breanne's film on the go, Grand Avenue in the pipe-line etc...we're doing OK.

We're like the French New Wave all over again. :)

Sort of......

Just a little update:

The world's largest distributor of short films wants to represent the film...they've sent me a contract that I'm currently perusing.

Not for a lot of money up front, but I get 50% of the revenue from any sales they make from:

Cable Television Rights
Free Television Rights
Subscription Television Rights
Satellite Television Rights
Non-Theatrical Rights
Passenger Transport Rights (Including but not limited to Ship Rights and Airline Rights)
Theatrical Rights
Videogram Sale Rights
Mobile / Portable Rights
Electronic Sell-Through Rights
Global Internet Rights
Video On Demand Rights (Including but not limited to VOD, AVOD, PVOD, NVOD, SVOD TVOD, IPTV and CCTV)
IPTV Rights

Don't even know what some of those things are.:)

They have 90 outlets world-wide including their own TV channels and such.

Would mean they get exclusive rights to it and I couldn't show it online.

Decisions, decisions.

You guys have done great. Really.

That's a pretty cool base hit.
What else you got on deck and in the bull pen?

(Looks like you can still show it on your ATV, though!)  :)

That's very usual for distributors.  Also, distributors don't usually promote - so if you want to see any money from it, you will need to promote it yourself.

But good on ya to have a distributor interested.   I would say establish yourself a relationship with them.

Go get paid, Rick! ;D
Nicely done, now have your "assistant" run down that loot.
That link is freaky, the way all the video start at once. Yikes.

Hey Rick hadn't seen this before as it kicked off before I joined SS.

Damn impressive stuff. Knocks the spots of a load of shorts I recently saw at a local festival.

Well done.
