The platform delivers a huge range of independent films, documentaries and animations from around the world all scheduled into a linear stream. itzon is a curated, hassle-free, high-definition ‘TV’ experience, available through Internet browsers or Internet-ready TVs. itzon offers the independent filmmaker a way to not only promote their film but to earn revenue from it also.
Quick Film Budget is proud to be supporting the filmmakers by sponsoring the Best Fiction award in itzon’s monthly film festival in May and June.

In addition to the free-to-view linear stream (complete with auto-adaptive bandwidth detection to help eliminate buffering and stalling) www.itzon.tv offers:

· Scheduled listings displayed online and in the weekly digital Whatzon magazine delivered by email to viewers.

· itzonDemand, a Video on Demand (VoD) catch-up service. Viewers can either watch films from the library for free with advert breaks, or purchase credit and watch the films advert-free. In both systems, the revenue generated is shared with the filmmaker.

itzon will be marketed globally to attract large viewer numbers and open opportunity for the viewing public to see films they would never get the chance to see in the main-stream cinemas. The itzon team is passionate about providing digital promotion to independent films in all stages of distribution, not just the latest releases. Whether this is a re-launch of a popular film that is now experiencing a plateau in viewing numbers or DVD sales, a date-specific screening, or a simultaneous multiplatform launch, itzon is flexible and curated to maximize the platform for the individual filmmaker’s needs. itzon accepts submissions for review across all genres, from shorts to full-length features.
