Good question. Not OP. I think there's a better chance of independent films being shared on free platforms than the government doing a better job at providing an equitable solution. I'm sure there are models out there that would apply to filmmaking that could replicate the success of say, Mark Normand releasing a special on YouTube instead of going with a paid app. Every actor, key grip, gopher, director, producer, etc. gets a percentage of advertising revenue forever. I'm sure there are flaws with that, but something like that.
The National Film Board of Canada pretty much only does 100% funding for animation and documentaries, but they do offer them all for free online. I don't see any reason why they couldn't extend that to regular features as long as they had the budget. The budget is the problem.
UBI + artist collectives making free media
How is this rule 3? Did the way I worded that comment come off as rude?
