Filmbay Launches the First Online Film Marketplace & Self Distribution
System

Filmbay, Ltd. (Cd/b/a Filmbay), with the URL http://www.Filmbay.com,
announces the launch of the first Internet marketplace for worldwide buyers
and sellers to search and option feature motion pictures, short films,
documentaries, music videos, music, screenplays and more. In addition,
filmmakers, sound composers and others can sell their titles individually as
DVD, CD or other formats via an online shop and auction.

Never before has the global film industry had a centralized online
marketplace, communications centre, distribution outlet and community in one
website. As a result, the independent film industry was once scattered all
over the world. Writers, Actors, Directors, Music Composers had been
separated not only geographically by country, but even more so by being
represented by a guild, union, or agent which often imposed limits on their
ability to engage in independent film production worldwide. Filmbay erases
these limits. The idea of creating such this important Internet venue
originated with Filmbay’s founder and President, John Paul Trutnau, and his
personal assessment of the current global film marketing process:

“I was tired of always hearing the same complaints from filmmakers, actors,
writers and other artists of not being able to find true global
representation for their work and for themselves.” says John-Paul.

“The Internet offers a unique way to unite people from all over the world in one media platform and create a global market place.” It took over 3 years to develop and fine tune the Filmbay concept and website. “Filmbay is similar to a Hollywood Studio, minus the hierarchies, but offers better opportunities for directors and producers to showcase, distribute and sell their products.

Jorn Ross, a university graduate and computer programmer, as well as
Sanka Abeysinghe, a graphic and web designer, assisted Trutnau in making his
project come alive. And now Filmbay allows buyers and sellers of film, as
well as general consumers who are interested in new and independent
cinematic products, to come together in a unique and innovative setting.

The website also enables global communication among all members who are
actively involved in the process of making a film. In this way, Filmbay
becomes a one-stop shop for the global independent film community. It even
features a Pitch Area where new projects are presented to this highly
dynamic film community who are looking to get involved.

Is Filmbay only for filmmakers? “Not at all, Filmbay is open to all creative aspects that relate to film, so for example a music composer or rock band can sell their own CD on our site, without a big label behind it.”

Additionally, academics can publish their work, e.g. an essay, M.A. or PhD

And since Filmbay is always online, it provides a 24/7 platform for the
independent film community to come together, exchange, collaborate and
communicate, as well as buy and sell films, scripts, music and more.
