How to Add Your Movie to Netflix

Netflix is a multinational rental house and, more recently, video on demand service. If you are an independent filmmaker, Netflix can be a very efficient way to deliver your film to a wide audience without the heavy cost of theater distribution. Netflix accepts films from independent filmmakers without a distributor. Before accepting your film, Netflix will review it to ensure it is of the highest quality so it is important to follow the company's instructions carefully and thoroughly.
