That could definitely get kind of tricky. Then again, if you do ANY kind of self-distribution (and make money) you'll owe residuals. <BR/><BR/>I think initially most films distributed this way will be smaller niche films that couldn't find distribution and thus (probably) don't have the SAG concerns. I'm sure Google will end up (if they haven't already) working deals out since in all actuality they ARE a distributor now.<BR/><BR/>-BlakeBlake Calhounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02210096847105001625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22260589.post-1140792626408980862006-02-24T06:50:00.000-08:002006-02-24T06:50:00.000-08:00I'm curious about google video, too.

The industry folks tossed up some concerns, though..namely, how do you handle residuals (if you have any sag actors) and the issue of basically signing away,rather early, your possibilities for cable broadcast. <BR/>My hope is that at the least, google video and similar options will give indie films more exposure as an industry, leading distributors to a new understanding of which films they consider "commercially viable".Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689854556419076475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22260589.post-1140643987539849182006-02-22T13:33:00.000-08:002006-02-22T13:33:00.000-08:00Good info.
