Luxembourg, May 13, 2013 - FilmSoul.com is a new internet
platform catering for the independent Film
An independent film is the
reflection of a filmmakers' personal artistic vision, many film makers pour
their hearts and soul in their work, but due to the reason that independent
films are produced mostly or completely outside of the major film studio and
distribution system. Usually many independent film productions receive financial
aids from cultural government institutions, these funds only allow distribution
limited to the national territory which in Europe for instance is very small.
The film has to be distributed separately country by country thus the
productions have to deal with 27 different markets whereas in the US there is
just one big market. This means independent films suffer due to limited
distribution if at all.
Bob Bellion has been in film production for 20
years and has over 40 productions in his filmography. Being in the industry for
so many years allowed Bob to understand the frustration of producers,
distributors and promoters of independent films. Thus, he created an online
platform “Filmsoul.com” for people to stream their movies live at the price they
chose and in the territories worldwide they define on a non-exclusive basis.
FilmSoul.com is a new internet platform catering exclusively for the independent
films. Bob believes that when a movie has been shot under professional
conditions it should have the right to be shown and the public will decide if
they want to watch it or not. Movies are not selected on artistic or technical
quality while other internet VOD platforms make a selection on the commercial
potential and the technical quality of a film. FilmSoul.com lets the public
decide what they want to see, they also realize that a lot of productions cannot
afford to use expensive technology. Furthermore, films that have been shot on 35
mm or 16 mm and digitalized without being HD will also be accepted on
FilmSoul.com, this will give to the public the opportunity to view movies that
were considered “lost”.
The website will be user friendly for both
content providers and viewers. Content providers including publishers and
composers will be provided their own webpage on FilmSoul.com which will include
a home page, about page, their movies, their network and contact information.
The plan is to not only allow content provider a platform to showcase their work
but also create an interactive environment. The FilmSoul Community will allow
movie buffs and professionals to exchange views, follow people, and exchange
messages to communicate and help each other. The official launch will take place
at the Cannes Film Market during the Cannes Film Festival from 15th – 26th May
2013. Bob will be available for any questions at booth 19/07 at Palais 01 at the
Film market during the whole period.
