Last week I read an article at Washingtonpost.com about Snagfilms, a relatively new website dedicated to full-length documentaries. From the site:
At SnagFilms.com, you can watch full-length documentary films for free, but we also make it easy for you to take our films with you and put them anywhere on the web. When you embed a widget on your web site, you open a virtual movie theater and become a “Filmanthropist.” Donate your pixels and support independent film!
I love it when companies or websites promote free digital media. The internet is a powerful tool to reach a lot of people with relatively low overhead. Movie studios are so paranoid about digital distribution that they lock their content as tight as possible with digital rights management. Having a site offer unique content for free is always a breathe of fresh air.
My first thought when I heard about this site was that it needs a Vista Media Center Plugin. Maybe someone with a little more programming skill than me could gin one up.
