We’re up on VODO!
The movie has gone live on the VODO front page. It’s packaged with a great 3-minute animated short at the beginning–LEGACY by Grzegorz Jonkajtys. Download the torrent and check it out.
The VODO guys had this to say in the description of the flick:
The film’s a sign of great things to come from director Josh Bernhard, and we’re delighted to be releasing his movie through the VODO network. Like the filmmakers behind Sweden’s recent ‘Nasty Old People’, Josh has been smart and forward thinking enough to use peer-to-peer to distribute his film. We should all be supporting him while we think about what films _we’re_ gonna make in 2010. New Year’s resolution anyone?
The Lionshare on VODO is a perfect fit, and we’re excited to see what comes of this partnership.
‘The Lionshare’ to be distributed on VODO
The movie has been selected to be the third release of VODO, a new online distribution platform that launched in October. It was founded by members of The Pirate Bay and some of the guys behind Steal This Film, the footage from which I remixed and used as a special feature on the DVD (see here). VODO stands for voluntary donation: you get the movie for free, and donate to the creators if you want to support them and their work.
It looks like The Lionshare is going to be their first narrative film release. Stay tuned for more info soon.
12/18 UPDATE: The movie is up!
Lionshare Mininova Torrent
Thanks to Mininova.org’s content distribution system, there’s finally a torrent available to download the movie. This is an HD quicktime file encoded in H.264, the same source file for all of the online upl0ads. So if you’d rather have a local copy to watch on your computer or set-top device rather than a streaming version on YouTube or Vimeo, here’s the way.
