Thanks to the popularity and availability of web video, the films that would usually have never made it to the cinema and merely languished in the back of the rental store gathering dust, now have an opportunity to be marketed to their often deserved extent and viewed online.

The cinema experience is by no means dead but the films that are no longer suited to the £15 ticket and 30 minutes worth of trailers treatment will certainly fair better with the comprehensive video marketing that sites like YouTube and Netflix.

Tim and Eric are two American comics with an immensely niche following, their hilarious sketch programme ‘Awesome Show’ has amassed a huge cult following and they are both active on the popular comedy web video site Funny or Die. Their ‘Billion Dollar Movie’ is a perfect example of the plus points of the online movie experience.

The film was released for streaming on January 27^th and will hit cinemas in March. Most T&E are going to get their online fix before the hardcore fan base visit the cinemas…if they can. There is an online petition to get the film distributed in the UK that can be found on Facebook.

If you have a video production you want to get up and running on the web then why not get in touch.
