Open Indie May Bring Bucks Back To Filmmakers
Indie filmmakers who choose to distribute their work on their own (like myself) are at a serious disadvantage relative to films with high end distribution. On the other hand, audience opportunity to interact with filmmakers and artists as well as hold screenings of indie movies are much better than films distributed by a third party.
OpenIndie.com is an opportunity for indie film audiences to find movies they want to see and/or screen, and be informed about showings in their area, all while the filmmaker has a chance to benefit financially from each viewer.
As much as the internet has democratized cinema, image makers are still searching for ways to monetize their content in a way that stays accessible to the internet audience. Open Indie may be part of the answer... we'll see.

key word is maybe here
Sounds like a great idea... they just need to partner with some of the bit torrent indie projects now.
Crumley seems like a smart cookie. Interesting to see that he thinks the service may not be necessary if it can't raise the money
its hard to find 100 indie filmmakers with an extra $100. good luck with that.
I think it's a great idea. Seems to be a lot of negative nancies here. Go for it Open Indie!
i don't think they're gonna make it
