Can anyone submit work to IndiePix?

No, we are open to all types of films-narrative, documentary, experimental, and animated features and shorts. Just send us your work so that we can get back to you with the next steps.

How many films can I submit?
As many as you like, but please submit a separate submission package per title.
Is there a submission fee?
No, submission to IndiePix is free.
What happens once I submit my film?
We will screen your film and review your submission form. Then we will get back to you with suggestions for next steps and how IndiePix can work with you. There are different start-up packages, depending on what production assets you have ready for duplication and manufacturing.
What kind of agreement with IndiePix will I have to sign?
We will send you a license agreement that grants us non-exclusive distribution rights over the licensing period and a detailed breakdown of the delivery materials that we require for DVD production and distribution. Terms of contract may vary depending on what kind of services fit your project best.
Where will IndiePix sell my film?
IndiePix DVDs are sold exclusively on our website, www.indiepixfilms.com.
Do I have to pay to be listed on IndiePix?
That depends on the package you choose. For consignment set-up, there is no initial listing fee. Set-up prices for other packages vary-please inquire.
What other charges do I have to pay?
There are no other upfront fees beyond the initial set-up fee (if any). However, other charges may apply (for example, if you want us to create the DVD master for you)-please inquire.
What else do I get with IndiePix distribution?
Your DVD will have a title-specific webpage with an easy-to-remember URL, DVD cover art, synopsis and film details, photo gallery, and links. As part of our comprehensive library, your DVD will be included in search results and image galleries on the IndiePix website. You will also have the option of participating in our seasonal Promotional Programs to increase visibility and sales.
How long does it take for my film to be released on DVD?
On average, we can launch your film on DVD within 4-6 weeks, provided you supply us with ready-for-production assets. For consignment, we can set up your title on our website within 2 weeks.
Can I see the finished DVD before it goes on sale?
Of course. You will receive a fully-packaged DVD to review prior to its release.
How long will my DVD be available through IndiePix?
As long as both parties are satisfied with the arrangement, all DVD titles will remain on sale on the IndiePix website.
When do I get paid?
You will receive a check each month for the previous month's sales. You will have access to a secure page where you can check on the progress of your film's sales and see a "real time" accounting summary of your results.
What if I want to break the agreement?
If you decide to revoke the license agreement with IndiePix, you must send us a written termination notice. Within 30 days of receiving such written request, we will cease duplication of all DVD copies and pull the title from the website. Any assets in our possession under your ownership will be returned to you.
How is IndiePix different from a traditional home video distributor?
Unlike traditional distribution deals, you retain all rights to your film and there are no lengthy term periods. We act as your distribution and sales partner in presenting your work to a broader audience.
What's in it for me?
Everything. We are committed to promoting you and your work. Through cost-effective DVD production and a dynamic Internet presentation, we facilitate connections between filmmakers and their global audience.
