Get Your Fresh Documentary Film at SnagFilms.com
At SnagFilms.com, you can choose from more than 550 documentary films to view. If you’d like to promote one of them, you can use a SnagFilms widget to host the film on your own web site, blog, or Facebook page.
The PDF media kit lists the SnagFilms executive team as Ted Leonsis, former vice chairman of AOL; Steve Case, former chair and CEO of AOL; and Rick Allen, former CEO of National Geographic Ventures and of Discovery.
The media kit conveniently asks: “What is SnagFilms’ business model?”
The answer: “SnagFilms pays out to the rights holders an equal share of advertising earned from streaming their film on the SnagFilms web site, via a SnagFilms virtual movie theater widget, or a SnagFilms distribution partner. Additional revenue for the rightsholder is earned from links to buy the DVD or pay to download.”
Among the current list of most discussed documentaries are Super Size Me, a journey into fast food; Paper Clips, about schoolchildren in Tennessee who collected six million paper clips as part of a project to understand the magnitude of the Holocaust; and In Debt We Trust, about the stranglehold of credit-card debt on U.S. consumers.
SnagFilms makes liberal use of banner ads and short ads that play before the feature you select. But perhaps access to these films makes the price of admission worthwhile.
