This RSA event marks the launch of a pioneering film distribution model, “Indie Screenings”, which allows anyone to buy a license to screen selected independent films whenever and wherever they like - and, crucially, to charge for tickets and keep the profits. The new software, which was developed by Torchbox, calculates a bespoke license fee, depending on various factors including who/where/when the user intends to screen. For example, a local campaign group will pay about £60 to screen in their church hall, whereas a multinational oil company screening to 5,000 staff would pay around £10,000.
