FilmFestJunkie is an online distribution site about empowering filmmakers from around the world and helping their work gain further exposure!
The idea is simple, we want you to succeed, and help by letting you keep your rights, share in the profits, by creating unity, and distributing your work on a global level.
It is our goal to help filmmakers help themselves in this new world of distribution while bringing independent film to the global audience. We are looking to eliminate the need for the middle man, bringing more money directly to you!
It is FFJ's mission to create a filmmaker friendly online environemnt which allows filmmakers and actors alike to profit off their work. Currently, filmmakers cannot offer their work for commercial purposes until after expenses are paid. We are working with SAG to create a more relevant system which works in today's world thereby allowing filmmakers to pay SAG actors and be paid without the need to surrender their film rights to distributors.
We want good films on the market. The best way to do this is to create access and direct streams of income for the artists involved. By financially empowering filmmakers and actors we can help ensure a system which brings independent films to people all over the world!
FFJ is still in the making and we are looking to our filmmakers in speeding up the process of creating this new distribution model. Let us know you care and that this is what you are looking for by contributiong on kickstarters.com today! The minimum bid is $1 and each bid come with its own reward - check out your options!
Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi
I'm working on something similar. A service to bridge the technical gap between filmmakers and distributing over the internet.
I don't know how far you are along with your project, but I'm looking for co-founders. I've already implemented most of it and will have a demo for VCs in at least one more month.
If you're interested just contact me.
