Digital Distribution

Business models for digital distribution

New forms of digital delivery offer both promise and threat to filmmakers. Many ambitious predictions have been made about the impact of the internet. But how much is real and how much is hype? What are the future business models? And, most importantly, where will Australian content be in this new media landscape?”

The AFTRS Centre for Screen Business and Australian Screen Directors Association presents an exciting national seminar series: Business Models for Digital Distribution. These one-day workshops are designed to provide content creators with a practical guide to the current and future business models for monetising online audio visual content.The focus is on what content is pulling the money in and what models are being used to make that money.

There will be a number of case studies, including the phenomenally successful Australian production The Secret, which will reveal how the producers used online distribution to maximise their revenue share.

The course director for this series is ASDA Executive Director Richard Harris, who is due to release his new book Film in the Age of Digital Distribution to coincide with this series.
