I thing the solution lies in the distribution. Think competing against big Hollywood stuff: it is by now mainly a marketing-distribution issue. Say somebody made a movie and had to distribute to a big audience, how can he/she do it? How can he/she monetize it?

For puppies videos, I think you can't (and don't want) beat youtube.

Coincidentally, Vimeo has just launched their first exclusive feature film: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/somegirls
Nice to see this. However, does it look like they solved the distribution part? None of this movies got to me through ads, social networks, friends advice, etc. While take "World War Z", I probably knew about it few days after it's launch.
