As you may know, I’ve been working on a movie called Childish Things since May of last year.
tldr: My movie Childish Things is now streaming at https://watch.cassidy.pictures
Childish Things has been independent from the start. My brother and I made it with our friends and whatever resources we had on hand, and when the time came to share the movie on the big screen, we worked with indie theaters to host community events and spread the word through local news and word of mouth.
We’ve been mulling over how to put Childish Things online. After going the typical route of signing with a distributor for our last film, Fallen Drive, we never saw a dime. We could’ve offered streaming through a platform like Filmhub or Amazon, but then some middleman would be taking a fat cut. It seemed like there was no favorable way for indie filmmakers to offer streaming to their audiences.
Then I asked for help here on wasteof. @radi8 (legend) reached out, and over the past couple weeks, he’s helped us develop our own streaming platform: watch.cassidy.pictures (rebrand TBD).
By continuing to be independent of big companies, we can retain the rights and control of Childish Things and (in theory) see some return on the blood, sweat, and mileage we’ve poured into this project. When you rent or buy Childish Things at watch.cassidy.pictures, you’re directly supporting the people who made it.
Thank you if you read all of that, and I hope you enjoy the movie!
