Say hello to Festival Central
IPEX TV Festival Central, launched this week, is an evolving resource, a new space to help both buyers discover films garnering festival buzz, and rights holders discover great new venues for their work. Film Festivals have become a key player in helping content travel not just to the big screen, but around the world. As it becomes easier to move content across borders, new and exciting opportunities open up for buyers and sellers.
We first launched the IPEX TV video trailer marketplace to serve the traditional film and video licensing industry—the crowd of professionals you will meet at tradeshows like MIPCOM and NATPE. Since then, we’ve been approached by a number of independent content creators and rights holders interested in using our service to break into the industry. The licensing industry has been fairly closed to self-distributing indies, but the web is helping change things. We are very happy to offer indies a chance to get in front of registered buyers on IPEX TV through our free Sell Sheet Broadcaster tool. We’d love to hear from you if you have any ideas about new features you’d like to see on IPEX TV.
If you have any comments, or you have a festival you think should be featured on Festival Central, e-mail me at info@ipextv.tv.
