Listing with IndiePix is as easy as telling us about your film! We will set you up with a filmmaker’s web page at a special address that we will give you when you write us. We will also provide you with the username and password to your filmmaker’s page.

This page has a form with basic contact information to be filled in by you. At the bottom of the page there are four links.

The first link is called “Title Listing Information” and gives you an idea of the range of detail we’d like to have on the title. I’m sure you’ve looked at the IndiePix site already, but if not, browse around a bit and get a sense of the richness of information about your title that we are eager to provide. Our consumer wants to know about your title … this is why she or he is interested and ultimately is why the purchase gets made … and our site is built to feature your title in detail!

The fourth link at the bottom of the page is called “Upload Supporting Information Material”. From this link you can upload almost all the elements you may want to include with your listing. You can also check on what’s been sent and what remains to be sent along.

Our deal with filmmakers will be spelled out in the third of the four links “any day now” (!). But until we can get the approved summary posted, here is the simple summary: we discuss the retail price with you; we take $2.95 per sale for listing a full length (60+ minutes) movie, less for shorter films; the rest is yours. We pay monthly. We work with you on promotion and marketing, and we may spend a little bit on that at our discretion, but in general, we rely on the filmmaker to do that. (This will change as 2006 goes along, and we can discuss that as we get to it.)

If you do not have a stack of DVDs to send us, then send us a mini-DV tape and we’ll make the DVD, we’ll work with you on the disk art, the DVD jacket art, which we will do, and we’ll prepare the disk for duplicating when we receive an order. We don’t charge you for that.

The cost per manufactured disk is $2 per unit and that includes printing the DVD, the DVD case and DVD itself, and printing the jacket art and any insert. You can buy disks for promo purposes from us for that price. The $2 manufacturing cost is a charge against the sales of an individual unit for units that sell to consumers — in addition to our listing fee and only when units sell.

There are no up front charges.

We encourage you to consider our new capability “Download to Own”. You can find this described on the web site behind the “what’s new at IndiePix” button. We are going to launch this service in January and there will be an “event” promoting the launch during the 3rd week of February at which we will announce a number of titles, filmmakers and indie distributors that are supporting this new electronic distribution as a way to encourage and grow the market for indie film.

I hope you’ll talk with us about your film. We’d love to work with you on it, and we look forward to hearing from you soon. Why not get started now? Write to us now at submissions@indiepix.net!

Thanks for thinking of us.
