History
Indieflix was founded in 2005 by filmmakers Scilla Andreen and Gian Carlo Scandiuzzi, but is run solely by CEO Scilla Andreen.[3] The company specializes in promoting independent film by providing online streaming platforms with filmmaker content. Indieflix offers an online streaming subscription for an annual price of $50 or $5 per month; additionally, library patrons may access to IndieFlix via their library, at no charge.[4] As of June 2014, Indieflix has over 8,000 titles that include features, shorts, and documentaries, and is available in over 85 countries.[5]
Indieflix has created and implemented an artist payment model called the RPM (Royalty Pool Minutes). The RPM model pays filmmakers for every minute watched of their content.[6]
