Jonathan Bricklin's The Entrepreneur (produced and presented by Morgan Spurlock) is going to "air" for one week exclusively on SnagFilms.com, starting July 24. This is prior to it ever being distributed through theaters or television.
SnagFilms will continue its SummerFest series over the next several weeks with with exclusive, one-week showings of documentaries that have not yet been distributed theatrically or on television.
Sounds like a good time to us.
Some other achievements of the one-year-old site include:
SnagFilms film widgets have been placed on pages that have generated more than 1 billion page views.
To date, SnagFilms has distribution deals with Hulu, AOL, YouTube, and just announced a partnership with Comcast's Fancast.com site.
This is on top of the more than 25,000 individual websites, blogs, or social network pages that have loaded widgets--from individual Facebook pages to big sites like NYTimes, HuffPo, WaPo, and Politico.
In the past year, SnagFilms has pried open some traditional distribution windows, jointly streaming films like Haze and The Least of These as they’ve had their film festival debuts; the SnagFilms SummerFest takes this a step further and offers a sneak peak of films for a limited time before any other distribution window opens.
SnagFilms and its indieWIRE site have also partnered with the IDA. Read about our relationship here.
