The Film Annex Web TV Network was founded with the mission to give filmmakers and artists a free platform for self-distribution, interaction, and funding. Film Annex sponsors and funds content creators through its ad-supported video platform so they can keep creating, contributing, educating, and entertaining. Film Annex sponsorship is based on the advertising revenues generated on the proprietary Film Annex platform. Every user, content creator, or audience member gets a free channel upon signing up at FilmAnnex.com. Members of the Film Annex Network curate their Web TVs by uploading videos and/or selecting films from Film Annex's Open Film Library. Members get paid up to 50% of the revenues generated on their Web TV channels.
The Web TV channels @ Film Annex are unique to the film world and a number of the channels follow Film Annex's vision of creating films that present "From Fiction to Reality, and from Reality to Fiction?"
Film Annex offers 30,000+ free movies on its online film platform where viewers can watch the finest movies by award winning filmmakers. With its high quality, interactive platform and cutting edge technology, Film Annex enables filmmakers to present their films digitally and viewers to sit back and enjoy those films on their computers, iPods, iPhones, and TVs.
