YouTube Launches Screening Room

Many independent filmmakers try to expose their work to a large audience, but have a difficult time finding the right platform to market a film. You Tube just launched on Wednesday the YouTube Screening Room, which the company calls the world's largest theater.





Every other Friday, You Tube adds four new films to the Screening Room. Those who watch the videos are allowed to rate and leave their comments.

"Hopefully as they see thousands of people watching their films, it's going to be a very eye-opening experience," says Sara Pollack, YouTube's film and animation manager in a CNN article.

A majority of the films that appear on the site will be those that have won at international film festivals, but every once in awhile, YouTube says it will roll out movies that have never been seen before by an audience. The YouTube Screening Room welcomes submissions, and those interested can submit a film by sending an email to the site.
