Film Annex is a great distribution platform, for independent content creators. Film Annex was created with the filmmaker, artist and content creators in mind. One of the great thing about Film Annex is that it is a free platform for funding, interaction and self-distribution. This is really a great asset due to the fact that many other platforms charge filmmakers to self destribute, and many of them can cost you quite a lot of money.

Film Annex is an online film distribution platform and web television network based in the U.S. which sponsors content creators through an ad-supported video platform. It was founded by Francesco Rulli, an Italian businessman in 2006.

What makes the Film Annex site different from other online video platforms like YouTube and Vimeo in several ways is that all uploaded films are received and reviewed by an editorial team to make sure that they are not user generated, but are professionally made.

Second Film Annex sponsors and finances content creator's future projects. By allowing filmmakers who upload their work to the site to receive 50% of revenues generated through advertisements shown on their web TV channels. The more the ads are viewed the more revenue the content creator receives. So in a way users receive incentives to drive traffic to their web TVs, by spreading the word on their social networking sites.

Third bloggers and filmmakers can join the Annex Press, which is Film Annex's professional blogging platform, and get paid for their blogs.

By making Film Annex a free platform, they encourage filmmakers to entertain, contribute, create and educate nonstop. Another great aspect of Film Annex is that it is constantly developing new tools to accomplish its goal of being the best online film platform. In addition to making money, sharing content and writing blogs, filmmakers can also interact with each other and their audience. Plus create photo albums.
