FAQ About The Impact of YouTube on Independent Film Distribution

YouTube has the potential to disrupt traditional distribution channels by offering an alternative path that does not require filmmakers to rely on established studios or theatrical releases. This can lead to a decline in the dominance of traditional mediums as filmmakers and audiences adapt to direct-to-consumer models.

However, the traditional film industry still holds significant market power, and many filmmakers use YouTube in conjunction with traditional channels rather than as a replacement.
