Warped Goods
The client: Warp Films
Warp Film Store is an eCommerce mothership that can be used by Warp Films and independent film companies for the sale of digital content (films for download), merchandise and DVDs.
On day one of the shop going live, with only 2 films for sale, www.warpfilmstore.com received nearly 200 orders.
Using a customised version of our Lucre eCommerce software, Warp can create an unlimited number of sites. Each site can have its own branding, web address, sales gateway, press area and films: all managed from a single admin. area. This allows Warp to market its films very flexibly and also allows them to help independent film companies sell films through their own mini-site and as part of the Warp Films Distribution umbrella.
Other features include a secure press area to allow journalists 'iPlayer' style access to film screeners. It's already being used for screenings of Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee (the new film from Shane Meadows and Paddy Considine) and All Tomorrow's Parties: the film of the festival.
This facility massively cuts the cost of mastering and distributing promo DVDs whilst giving journalists instant access to the films: no more waiting for the postman. Warp Films can even see who watched what, when.
