Three new American independent feature films from the 2010 Sundance Film Festival will debut on YouTube even before audiences get a chance to see the movies at the festival in Park City, UT. Among the three films launching this Friday for VOD rental online is Linas Philips’ “Bass Ackwards.” Also available are Michael Mohan’s “One Too Many Mornings,” Todd and Brad Barnes “Homewrecker,” and last year’s Tze Chun’s “Children of Invention” and Louie Psihoyo’s “The Cove”. YouTube, which is sponsoring the Festival’s new NEXT section for lower-budget indie films, reached out to filmmakers and signed non-exclusive revenue share deals with the filmmakers, making their movies available only during the festival for a $3.99 three-day rental price.
