Are you open to distributing via torrent?
1 comments

So far we have chosen not to because we consider the core of the work to be the continuous length of the film. A torrent would enable timelapses and short versions. But we will think about it.
That can/will happen regardless of distribution via Vimeo or torrent or YT or whatever.

Torrent doesn't enable that any more than any other distribution channel.

Yea, a bit confused about that as well.

Maybe they mean providers could offer the download in chunks? But yea, there's nothing stopping someone getting the full file and just ffwding that.

What’s wrong with a timelapse? Seems like the perfect opportunity.
This is weird. No normal person is going to watch 857 hours. The only person to watch that long are movie industry people, so they can write about it.

Separate question, how do you monetize this?

It’s art.
