The internet is not multicasting. Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and other video streaming services all use the unicast method of streaming. All networks within the internet support the unicast method of transmission which is why it is so popular. Unicasting is expensive because each viewer requires a unique connection and adequate bandwidth. The multicast method uses a fraction of the bandwidth required by traditional unicast transmission and is far less expensive.

Our proprietary tech, a mission critical part of our patented Film Submission Workflow (FSW), takes a unicast stream, moves it to a private network, multiplies it exponentially, encrypts it, packs it up, and then sends it over the public internet to unique endpoints without packet loss and with low latency. In short, we can multicast using the public internet at a substantially lower cost than unicast streams run. This tech powers Reactance Theaters™ our patented FSW is how we change the world for the better.

Indie Films and Content Need Theatrical Release

Commercial success (i.e., profit) requires mass distribution. There has been no mass distribution system for independent films. Only 10% of independent films were released from 1999 to 2018 and out of those released, only 3.4% saw a profit. However, $136 billion in entertainment dollars were spent at the box office and on home entertainment in 2019 with very few distribution opportunities for indie content to compete for those dollars. In 2019, it cost an average of $96 to see an artist live in concert. The average person spends more than $29 on food, beverages, and merchandise at shows. The audience for “specialized” films is at an all-time high.

Commercial Success (Profit) Requires Mass Distrubtion

Most of the Indie films that did reach theaters during this time did not make a profit. While many believe streaming Video On Demand (VOD) platforms are the great equalizer for indie filmmakers, the truth is, streaming pales in comparison to theatrical release. When indie films are mass distributed (released in theaters) their chance of profitability increases exponentially similar to those released by major Hollywood studios.
