John Staton writes in the Wilmington Star-News that self-distributed Independent Wilmington film comedy ‘Birdies’ shoots for a golf-loving audience.

“Instead of going the festival route or trying to get distribution through Amazon and other large streaming sites, which are both strategies often employed by independent filmmakers, the makers of “Birdies” have employed a direct-to-the-consumer approach. It recalls a digital version of the “four-walling” of decades ago, when filmmakers would rent space in theaters across the country to ensure their movies were available to audiences.”

The feature is available to stream on demand at birdiesthemovie.com. There’s also merch for sale.

My take: this is the first time I’ve seen outtakes for sale! I could be wrong but it seems they’re using seer.la to stream the movie and pixpa.com for the store.
