Indiegogo and Vimeo Partner to Support Filmmakers

Published

on

Indiegogo, the world’s largest crowdfunding platform, and Vimeo announced this weekend from the Sundance Film Festival, a partnership designating Vimeo as a preferred distribution platform for films funded on Indiegogo. Vimeo has also committed to an ongoing creator fund for select Indiegogo funded film campaigns in exchange for exclusive distribution on Vimeo On Demand.

“Vimeo is all about giving power to the creators”

Additionally, Indiegogo will be joining Vimeo’s newly formed Vimeo On Demand Publisher Network, with a dedicated VOD storefront on Indiegogo’s site featuring titles funded by Indiegogo campaigns available for purchase. Vimeo will also create a dedicated Indiegogo VOD home on Vimeo featuring a rotating selection of Indiegogo campaign funded films curated by Vimeo.

“Indiegogo is leading the way for next generation filmmaking,” said Slava Rubin, CEO of Indiegogo. “Mirroring the diversity of our open platform, we are proud to support an incredibly robust community of filmmakers across multiple genres. With the addition of Vimeo as a distribution partner, it is now easier than ever for filmmakers using Indiegogo, to pursue their passions, receive funding, garner global exposure, and deliver their work directly to their fans.”

“Vimeo is all about giving power to the creators,” said Kerry Trainor, CEO, Vimeo. “This partnership highlights both Vimeo and Indiegogo’s continued support of independent filmmakers on a global level, and provides Indiegogo’s community of creators an opportunity to be exposed to an even wider audience via Vimeo’s transactional VOD platform.”

Film campaigners who choose to distribute their films on Vimeo On Demand will be able to tap into benefits not offered by any other crowdfunding platform:

  • Matching funds: Vimeo’s new Creator Fund will commit up to a million dollars in matching funds for select Indiegogo funded film campaigns in 2015.
  • Vimeo marketing dollars: Vimeo will contribute digital marketing spend and social promotion for campaigns in the matching funds program and other selected Indiegogo funded film campaigns.
  • Free unlimited fulfillment: Participating campaigns will have access to free fulfillment on all digital download perks via Vimeo VOD.
  • Discounted Vimeo PRO: Indiegogo film campaigners will be eligible for a substantial discount on Vimeo PRO membership.
  • Featured collection on Vimeo: An “Indiegogo Funded Films” collection will be featured on Vimeo, which reaches over 170 million global users a month.

The first project to participate in the new partnership is Malcom Carter’s “The Connected Universe,” an eye-opening documentary on the interconnectivity of all things. The film – which currently sits as Indiegogo’s highest funded documentary in history — features the work of noted theorist Nassim Haramein and promises to expose viewers to new research that could have a profound effect on how we think about the universe.

Past Indiegogo campaigns that have used Vimeo as their distribution method include Video Game High School Season Three, Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie and Mad As Hell, which will be available next month on Vimeo.

The Vimeo partnership is the most recent addition to a host of services on Indiegogo designed to help provide the most robust end-to-end solution for filmmakers. From funding a project, to perk fulfillment via partners like Amplifier to distribution with Vimeo, Indiegogo is committed to providing filmmakers with the tools, resources and support they need to bring their vision to life.

In addition to the film and video content, Indiegogo has helped thousands of entrepreneurs secure funds for their products, including Panono, Ghost Drone and Axiom Beta, the world’s first open digital cinema camera, which has driven forward progress in the film industry and been integral in helping movies get made in the best way possible.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
