Go-Kustom Films Model of Film Distribution Makes Good Money in Hard Times

Seattle, WA, March 09, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Go-Kustom Films owner D.A. Sebasstian was shocked to get his monthly distribution notices from Amazon.com, shocked in a good way. Said Sebasstian, "I really didn't expect our first feature, Hot Rod Girls Save The World, to make so much money in it's first few months on DVD. We have done very little in the way of advertising. Just a few banner ads on indie-film friendly websites, and several press releases- not much more. The initial budget of the film was under $3,000. It grossed more than that in the first five weeks! Comparatively- HRGSTW beats all major released films in production costs to immediate returns, though we are talking much much smaller numbers. Success is success, no matter how big or small."

Started in 2004, Go-Kustom Films is a sister company to Go-Kustom Rekords. After a soured distribution deal in which Go-Kustom Rekords lost thousands of dollars and nearly went bankrupt, Sebasstian looked for new ways to get his labels music out to the public. He found CD Baby, an artist and label self distribution website that caters to the individual artist and music buyer, not the corporate giants. CD Baby also offers a full Digital Distribution network getting Go-Kustom titles quickly up onto iTunes, Napster, eMusic music download websites.

After doing more research Sebasstian found CreateSpace (an Amazon.com company) that uses on-demand publishing technologies to make Books, CD's & DVD's, as online customers order them. They also offer access to the mighty Amazon.com website for these releases, as well as doing short runs (500 or less) of Book, CD and DVD titles for their creators. This is exactly what Sebasstian was looking for for his creative companies.

Said Sebasstian, "Using CreateSpace, I can have my music and films available to the public almost immediately upon the projects completion. There is no warehouse full of unsold discs at the end of the year, no unsold inventory. DVD's & CD's are made as they are ordered and the quality is perfect- indistinguishable from mass replication pressings. We can also make short runs of our titles as we need them, the turnaround is just a few days. We then sell our titles on Amazon, CD Baby and on our own sites. This is the future of disc based entertainment media."
