So it’s available on Netflix? FFS put it on PeerTube.

@Daniel_Blake @Em0nM4stodon @education @edtech @homeschooling Hi, Daniel. We are PeerTube fans, too!

However, we are not the filmmakers, and we do not control distribution of the films. We work with filmmakers as a third party to create educational materials for their films.

But, that said, we do talk about the Fediverse with the filmmakers we know, and we specifically recommend PeerTube for hosting their trailers, especially in light of Vimeo's 20025 acquisition by Bending Spoons.

It's a huge challenge for indie films to even make back production costs. If anyone can work out a viable financial model for filmmakers to distribute films through PeerTube, especially right now when film funding is drying up and the film world is more precarious than ever, indie filmmakers would be all over it.
