Market Opportunity

Less than 1% of films produced on planet earth get distribution in the United States.

Demo Says

In a block-buster-driven industry, independent and international film makers are continually challenged to find an audience amid the distribution power of the major studios. Not surprisingly, the Internet becomes a great equalizer, and we’ve seen the power of Web communities drive movie goers into the “long tail” of fi lm content. Jaman accelerates that move by creating an outstanding viewing experience, coupled with community tools that enable independent film enthusiasts to find and enjoy great films.
