Kristen Bell, online movie pioneer? Hot on the heels of the crowdfunded Veronica Mars movie<\/a> comes the news that Some Girl(s)<\/em><\/a>, an indie film starring Bell, will exclusively be distributed via Vimeo (hat tip to Deadline Hollywood<\/a>). Some Girl(s)<\/em> will debut on Vimeo\u2019s VOD<\/a> platform, which was unveiled at SXSW, on June 28 — the same day it will be released in theaters.<\/p>\n

Neil LaBute’s Some Girl(s)<\/em> is following a writer, played by Adam Brody, who visits his ex-girlfriends on the eve of his wedding, with one of them being Bell. The movie debuted at SXSW as well, and its production company Leeden Media made a point of emphasizing that it had turned down traditional distribution offers in a press release announcing the move to Vimeo on demand.<\/p>\n

Vimeo\u2019s on-demand platform is one of a growing number of ways for filmmakers to directly sell their wares to consumers, with others including VHX<\/a> and Chill<\/a>. The video site\u2019s big advantage is that it already has a built-in audience, as well as apps on a variety of platforms to deliver the movie to mobile and TV screens. And for filmmakers, there\u2019s another interesting incentive: Vimeo only keeps 10% of a movie\u2019s revenue.<\/p>\n
