YouTube™ Presentation: Wire Me the Money: Getting Paid by Going Digital

Over the past few years, thousands of filmmakers have found audiences for their work on YouTube™. But if digital distribution is to become a viable, long-term option for a majority of filmmakers, it needs to generate more revenue. Come learn more about YouTube's new rental program, enabling filmmakers to make money from their work while still providing them with the unprecedented audience engagement for which the site has always been known. Jon Reiss (Filmmaker and DIY distribution expert), Mynette Louie (Producer), Matt Dentler (Cinetic Media) and Sara Pollack (YouTube™) discuss the current digital distribution landscape in a short panel discussion followed by an overview of how YouTube™ rentals works. Moderated by Todd Luoto (Sundance Institute).

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
