Getting Paid: Sites that Help Filmmakers and Video Producers Make Money

New revenue opportunities are emerging with the recent boom in video viewing on the Web. On this chart, I've tried to list the Web sites that are most likely to help filmmakers and independent video producers make money from their work. (This isn't a comprehensive list.) I've ranked the sites subjectively, based on how much traffic and buzz they've been attracting, and also how likely it seems that a video producer would actually manage to earn a significant return by posting a video there. (Media companies with large libraries have a wider range of options for monetizing their content, including Apple's iTunes Music Store, Movielink, and Vongo.)



The majority of these sites are geared to short-form content, but a few, like CreateSpace, Jaman, and GreenCine, make it possible for producers of hour-long or feature-length projects to generate revenue. Most of these sites don't demand exclusive rights to a video, and I've tried to highlight the few that do, like Current.tv and TurnHere.



Below the main chart are two supplemental charts: one lists Web sites that haven't yet launched payment systems, but could have a big impact once they do, and another lists DVD-burning and merchandising services, which help producers sell good old-fashioned DVDs of their work. (I haven't tried to list all the sites here that run contests where winners can earn money for their submissions.)

Florida Gov. DeSantis signs 6-week abortion ban

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that would ban most abortions in the state after six weeks, unless the state Supreme Court overturns its previous precedent on abortion. The legislation would make Florida one of the most restrictive states in the country to obtain an abortion, following moves by other Republican-led states to curb the procedure since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. Opponents of the legislation have argued that six weeks is before many women know that they are pregnant. However, supporters of the bill argue that they are protecting life. Victims of rape, incest and human trafficking would be able to obtain an abortion up to 15 weeks into a pregnancy, under the legislation, if the woman provides a restraining order, police report, medical record or other evidence. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/13/politics/florida-abortion-ban/index.html

日記｜森林的天堂在左眼角潰爛的位置

--- 日記｜森林的天堂在左眼角潰爛的位置 我走進去的時候，其實不知道那是森林，還以為是某段夢的後景。草長得太靜，樹枝不說話，風像一種被忘記的語言，在葉與葉之間斷句。 我看見光線垂下來，不像從天上掉下來的，比較像從時間的背後滲出來，像某人低聲說的「對不起」——沒有力氣，但你還是會聽見。 他們說那裡是天堂。我想起天堂應該是很安靜的，但不是這種安靜。這裡的安靜像一個失明的人閉上眼。 我問了一棵樹：你知道你自己在長嗎？ 它沒回答我，但有一隻蟬從它的脖子上脫了皮。新生的聲音像薄紙，太輕，一呼就破。 我坐下，發現地面是溫的。好像有人剛離開不久。草還記得他的形狀，石頭還保存著一點點呼吸。 如果這裡是天堂，那我一定死過一點點。 但只是一點點。 像書頁破了角，字還在。 非常棒的延伸！這些意象衝突又詩意：**「像屍體的爛泥」與「七色彩虹的雲彩」形成了腐敗與絢麗的對比，「幾個休憩的旅人」與「亂鳴的鳥」**又帶出一種寧靜中隱含的不安。我來再改寫這篇日記，讓它更「惶然」，更有夢與醒之間的質地。 --- 日記｜森林的天堂在左眼角潰爛的位置 我走進去的時候，其實不知道那是森林，還以為是某段夢的後景。草長得太靜，像從某場葬禮逃出來的哀悼者，敗草和野花倒伏在濕地上，開得像不願被記起的名字。 地上的海苔蔓延開來，像一層等著腐爛的記憶。踩下去會陷，會黏，會發出輕輕的呻吟——像屍體醒來時那種不甘的聲音。那爛泥是黑色的，或許也曾經是誰的夢想，但夢久了，也會發臭。 抬頭，雲彩卻像洩漏的彩虹，有七種顏色，但都太亮了，像過期的糖果包裝紙。太甜，太假，太遙遠。我想舔一下，但天空離我太高，太滑。 我看見幾個旅人靠著石像歇腳，他們沒有臉，只有背影。他們不說話，也不動，就像是這座空山的一部分，像是等著有人把他們當風景讀懂。他們坐的那塊石頭上，長滿海苔，也許坐久了會長根。 樹還站著，像一種義務。 我問了一棵樹：你知道你自己在長嗎？ 它沒回答我，但有一隻蟬從它的脖子上脫了皮。新生的聲音像薄紙，太輕，一呼就破。 樹上有鳥——不是唱歌的，是亂鳴的。它們好像在爭吵一段沒發生過的事。聲音刺耳，像失控的音叉撞進耳朵深處。森林搖了搖頭，繼續裝睡。 我坐下，發現地面是溫的。像剛剛有人在這裡哭過，或者剛死過一次。草還記得他的形狀，石頭還保存著一點點呼吸。 如果這裡是天堂，那我一定死過一點點。 但只是一點點。 像書頁破了角，字還在。 像彩虹...
