RELEASE Thursday 15th October 2009
Los Angeles, CA Oct 15th 2009
Launching today, Klatcher.com establishes a new way to publish,
consume and monetize feature-length movies. The media platform allows producers
to offer a 360 degree movie experience that gives filmmakers a direct
relationship with their audience and profit from it.
Demonstrating this is Robert Pratten’s award-winning horror movie,
Mindflesh, on http://klatcher.com/mindflesh.
“On average, filmmakers will see four to ten times more qualified
traffic on their Klatcher channel than on their website or social media site.
By combining this visitor power with the most advanced digital e-commerce
system available today, we get our publishers to the sweet profit spot”, says
Johannes Bhakdi.
Klatcher.com allows filmmakers to form a gravitational center around
their movie and draw traffic from disparate social networks, blogs and video
sharing sites to make an integrated content community and marketplace. By
integrating sites like Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr and other industry leaders,
Klatcher has taken the lead in matching quality content with quality
traffic.
“Our goal was simple: to provide filmmakers with an easy solution
to publish and promote their movies, and bring in more profit than through any
other channel. With Mindflesh, we can prove we are there”, says Johannes
Bhakdi, CEO of Klatcher.com.
“The new and intriguing thing about the Klatcher platform is that
it enables filmmakers to not only put my movie online but to create their own
brand universe and integrate it to the social web. ”, says Pratten
The Klatcher platform offers producers the latest video technology
for webisodes, downloads and HD quality on-demand services for free, including
a cutting-edge commercialization platform. The combination of innovative online
publishing, Klatcher business services and the social media marketing
technology promises to make a big difference for the future of the movie
business model.
“The social web is blurring the definitions of entertainment,
advertising, filmmaker and audience but until Klatcher there hasn’t been a
technology platform to support this new world environment” says Pratten.
For his article in the upcoming November issue of Indie Slate
magazine (#59), Pratten discusses how filmmakers can and will inevitably have
to develop their movies into transmedia projects that span video, comics, games
and events. Thankfully Klatcher.com is developing its offering to support this
emerging breed of interlinked content.
