Truly Indie is an "innovative[buzzword] distribution program" providingindependent filmmakers the sales and marketing tools necessary to distribute their films by-passing traditional distribution companies. By providing a way for self-funded distribution, Truly Indie aims to enable filmmakers to "retain control" over all rights and decisions relating to their films. The program was launched byMark Cuban andTodd Wagner's media company2929 Entertainment in 2005 inAustin, Texas.
Truly Indie enables theatrical distribution funded by filmmakers themselves, mainly through Landmark Theaters (owned by 2929 Entertainment). The filmmaker pays an upfront fee that covers all distribution costs (marketing, advertising, and publicity). Securing a one-week run in at least five markets, the filmmaker keeps all of box office receipts and retains all rights to their film.[1][2]
