I have a feature film that's not going to get theatrical distribution. (www.donovanquixote.com if you're interested) Has anyone uploaded to Amazon? What's the experience like? Pointers? Cautions?

was thinking the same thing myself, I'd also be interested in hearing anyone's experience. was also looking at distribber....I guess a lot depends on the films marketing strategy.
Distribber put my documentary on Amazon, it hasnt been a month yet, but I promoted it in the local papers and radio stations. Here is the link https://www.amazon.com/Life-at-Traxco-Dennis-Brow/dp/B06XWS4W9P/ref=sr_1...

Sure, distribber.com has a FAQ page that answers all the points of each platform that they connect you with.

Keith Hopkins There's no "deal." Amazon is a percentage deal. If the movie is in prime (and not just PPV) then Amazon defines how that works here: https://videodirect.amazon.com/home/help?topicId=202037410
I so want to hear from someone that did the AVD deal and is actually getting plays on their film and making any sort of finance back! Please post your experiences!
My company, Open Sign Productions, has over 20 films available on Amazon Video. The experience thus far has been very positive. While there are options such as "Distribber", I would encourage you to upload it yourself. Amazon has made it very simple for filmmakers to upload their films. The largest obstacle you'll face is the Closed Caption file. You'll either need to create that yourself (which I recommend uploading your film to YouTube and doing it from there) or have a company make it for you. We create captions in-house so I can't recommend any good companies for that. But again, Amazon has been great and they provide all statistics to you.
