Woodward & Vine - Indie Filmmakers & Spout.com Partner To Sell Movies

Grand Rapids, MI / Just as the Internet altered almost every aspect of the music industry-from consumption to distribution-a similar change has come to the film world. Spout.com, one of the Internet's leading movie discussion, news and information sites, in partnership with MeDeploy.com, offers independent filmmakers the opportunity to both connect with an audience and, with MeDeploy, allow that audience to purchase and download the filmmaker's movie directly from Spout.com.

Working with MeDeploy, Spout gives filmmakers the ability to distribute their films at the point of discovery—the Spout website. Filmmakers interested in making their films available to purchase and download from Spout.com need only a MeDeploy account which is free for all indie filmmakers and allows the filmmaker to add download sales to Spout.com with a single click of a button.

Spout.com then lets the movie find its audience. By connecting with Spout members and sharing interests, movie recommendations and more, filmmakers can leverage Spout’s position as the leading gathering spot for an audience that is not only passionate about movies in general, but passionate about embracing the movies they love and making sure they’re exposed to a wide audience.

As part of the partnership, Spout has a Promote Your Film page at Spout.com/PromoteYourFilm, www.spout.com/promoteyourfilm. Using that tool, filmmakers can make sure their film has a listing in Spout's database. The Promote Your Film page also contains tips and tricks on how to maximize the reach into the Spout community.

"We’re thrilled to be working with MeDeploy," says Spout COO Bill Holsinger-Robinson. "The Internet increasingly allows for a flat distribution playing field and for like-minded people to connect around mutual interests in communities of their own design. This partnership between Spout and MeDeploy takes advantage of both of those. We’re sure that this will be of tremendous value to filmmakers with worthwhile movies looking for an audience."

"MeDeploy.com is excited to partner with Spout" says Christian Taylor CEO of MeDeploy, "With MeDeploy’s distribution tools and the large audience of movie fans at Spout.com, the combination is a dream come true for filmmakers looking to breakthrough to an audience."
