RainDance.tv - Indie Films Go Web 2.0

For you indie movie lovers, it's not easy getting the kind of content you crave-- Hollywood blockbusters abound. And, should you be unluckily enough to live in a small non-indie friendly city, then you're stuck with a dvd and a subscription to Netflix. Luckily, there's Raindance, brought to us by the creators of BIFA, the premiere indie film fest that's had a number of well known indie cred on its roster -- Tarantino, Ken Loach, Iggy Pop etc. And now, Raindance has gone Web 2.0. The site is called Raindance.tv and it's got tons of alternative and indie features and films. What's more, RainDance recently closed a deal with partners (including Vuze, Joost and Daily Motion) to provide content. Royalties and a cut of revenues are given to filmmakers as well. There are more features to come. Join to watch and enjoy.

"Raindance.tv. Dedicated to fostering and promoting indie films and filmmakers.
