Today we’re launching our Film Fulfillment Program, which will provide Indiegogo campaigners streamlined access to free or discounted rates on film distribution and fulfillment services with our program partners, VHX and Yekra. (Links to register are at the end of this post!)
Through this new program, filmmakers running crowdfunding campaigns can now rely on Indiegogo to help facilitate a connection to an industry-leading distribution partner and complete the last critical stage in releasing and promoting their films. This program is also available to films that have already completed funding on Indiegogo.
How do these services work?
VHX and Yekra offer robust digital distribution platforms that allow filmmakers to distribute their content directly to consumers all over the world, via HD streaming or download.
