The producers of independent feature film Starlit are taking a rather bold approach toward distributing their film. Essentially taking a page from the shareware model of software distribution they have made the entire film available for online download with the request being made that if you enjoy the film to please pay five bucks for having seen it. It'd be one thing if this was some kids shooting low grade video in their parents' garage but, despite budget limits, this has obviously had some time, talent, money and effort put into it. The film follows a serial killer who poses as a filmmaker to find the actresses who become his prey, the entire film presented as a filmed record of the killings by the killer himself.

That is an awesome concept. I'll be sure to download this once I get home.
This is a wonderful idea. I wish there were some way youcould guarantee payment. The format should be changed to mpg or preferably DivX/XViD.
I hope to see more of this type and my donation is on it's way!
Yeah, it's very cool that they are offering this movie up for free. For that reason I might check it out. The music in the trailer was very disturbing - I liked it (just the music).
