Submission + - Iraqi Web Series Crowdsources Distrib.
mike_dib writes: "My company just released on online documentary series that was shot in Baghdad by Iraqi filmmakers. It's about the lives of everyday Iraqis — the great untold story of the war. It sits at the middle of technology, media, culture and politics. We've effectively crowd-sourced our distribution by putting the videos online and asking our viewers to help us spread them as far and wide as possible. As a TV company, we decided to rely on viewer and digital distribution rather than standard television broadcast. We're also using both Joost (in its next release) and Youtube which hasn't really been done knowingly to my knowledge. The first three webisodes came out today and new ones will follow every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We're trying to spread the word about the series so that the risk that our Iraqi producers took to make this series was worth it.
