Trickfilm Entertainment Inc. announced the official launch of its new online platform, Trickfilm, with a mission to ‘democratize the production, distribution and monetization of independent animation around the world.’
As an alternative to the animation industry’s traditional business model, Trickfilm aims to transfer the control (and the rewards) back into the hands of the people who create and own the intellectual property.
“The market for animated content is exploding, but creators don’t necessarily benefit from this increase in the demand for their work,” said Trickfilm CEO & Founder Jeremy McCarron. “Trickfilm empowers animation producers to connect directly with their true fans and to earn revenue through their creations.”
Trickfilm provides a platform through which filmmakers can distribute their work, without restriction, and monetize it through the direct sale of associated digital, virtual and physical goods to their audiences. The platform also allows audiences to discover a wide variety of genres, mediums, formats and styles of animation from all over the world and to directly support the artists who create it.
“Our goal is to become the home for independent animation,” continues McCarron, “where viewers have access to amazing artists, content, and merchandise anywhere, any time. It’s Saturday morning cartoons as a service!”
