OK, first of all, this is really me reaching out to all of you. Not some cut and paste chain letter/poll. As my friends and family, I'd really like to know the answer to this question... I send you a link to a movie on the Internet that I thought was good. You go to the link and find out the guys who made the movie are charging $1 a show.

Would you pay a buck?

(Assume that the movie is feature length (90 min or so) and in or close to the genre of movies that you normally enjoy)

As most of you know, I love making movies. I recently read an article about a guy who posted his film on the web and charged a buck per view. If you enjoyed it and wanted to see it again, you paid another buck. This theory is called the "What The Buck" theory of distribution. A person makes a movie fully intending to distribute it on the web by charging a fee so small, most patrons would just say "What the buck" and pay it. The thinking is if you movie is halfway decent and with close to 250 million Internet users in North America alone, you can get 50,000 or 100,00 people to pay a dollar and finance your next movie.

So I'm asking some real people what they really think of this idea that looks good on paper but then again so does communism.

Would you pay a buck to see a halfway decent low/no budget movie?

Thanks for helping out,

Dennis
