Can I sell a short film?

Last Updated: Aug 22, 2012 08:51AM BST

Yes, you can offer short films for sale on Distrify. Short form content is popular for online viewing, especially on tablets and other portable devices. 

Shorts need the same qualities and "hooks" that interest people in longer films, and it's best if they have not been available free before you start selling them.

As with all films, you'll need a trailer. For a short film this might be 30 seconds or so.

We recommend that you set a price around $2 to $3 for a short film. If you set it too low, people might not think it's worth buying. If you set the price too high, people may feel it's unfair to pay the same price for a short as they could pay for a feature.

Packages of shorts

If you have a group of related short films you can create one "film" page for that group of films and use one trailer to offer the shorts. You can set pricing to rent or purchase each short individually, and you can group them together in a package to offer access to all the shorts for one price.

To do this, create one "film" on Distrify and upload the trailer and each of the shorts to that same "film" page.
Then set pricing, embed it, and start selling!
