SnagFilms, Withoutabox pair up

Digital distributor SnagFilms has teamed with internet film-submission platform Withoutabox with an initiative that allows filmmakers to submit photos to SnagFilms for distribution consideration via Withoutabox. A division of IMDb, Withoutabox was already utilized by a couple of film festivals becoming an online application portal. The partnership with SnagFilm reps a distinctive initiative that aims to boost convenience to distribution pipelines. Indie-centric SnagFilms showcases photos in sponsor-supported, free, on-demand viewing using the company's website, its pc tablet programs and services including Roku and Boxee. Movies will also be offered through paid out VOD on Comcast, FiOS, iTunes and Hulu Plus, among others services. Inside the three several days since the soft launch in the SnagFilms-Withoutabox initiative, greater than 250 photos are actually published to SnagFilms for consideration.
