Although the means of production is democratised the financing, marketing and distribution remain difficult for the independent film makers as they are outside of the traditional system of film making so they tend to rely on Film festivals to get their films noticed and sold for distribution and production. However the use of the internet has allowed for the cheap distribution of film using websites like youtube. As a result film companies have emerged in order to assist independent filmmakers in getting their films sold and seen via mainstream internet marketplaces, often adjacent to popular hollywood titles. film makers who have problems achieving the mainstream means of distribution now resort to online distribution
