AtomFilms to finance filmmakers

AtomFilms has started AtomFilms Studio, which will finance select projects.

"The Internet video pioneer, which already runs a Web site for pre-produced video shorts or clips from independent creators, plans to keep banking on those projects, which it calls "atom-ized" pieces. But with AtomFilms Studio, it will finance select projects, investing upfront in the production of original content designed for Internet-based delivery.

The development house has six projects under production already - due for release in the spring - and as many as three dozen others planned for the studio's first year. The initial round ranges from a Craigslist-inspired online dating reality series to a short film about a man who finds himself fighting for his life after a successful date."

Go here for the full story.

Bill! Let's get these guys to finance your feature! We'll shoot on video instead of film, perhaps. Or maybe S16. Man, that would be great to shoot 35, though.

Alright everyone, get your pich on!

AtomFilms submission info page. This is for regular submissions. I didn't see anything about them finacing people on the site.
