Kirsner says Amazon’s CreateSpace is the best alternative option if you just want to do it yourself (films can then be sold via Amazon Unbox, a digital download service) but “you’ll have to drive customers to your work — unlike iTunes, where the customers are already buying movies in big numbers.”

He provides some examples including the exclusive Internet release of Ed Burns’ Purple Violets on iTunes – and also adds a list of companies that are helping filmmakers reach audiences and sell their films online. Very useful stuff.
