Netribution is run by volunteers - and anyone can contribute content or help out.

Background

Netribution was founded at the end of 1999 by Tom Fogg, Wendy Bevan Mogg and Nic Wistreich. Inspired by the dotcom boom Tom and Nic quit their film degrees to run the site full-time, growing to become the UK's most popular - and biggest - film industry website. Due to a lack of funding from both private and public sources, Netribution.co.uk ceased being updated from February 2002. In January 2006, the site relaunched a beta version 2.0 site (currently available).

We relaunched to encourage, assist and inspire independent creatives to use their new digital freedoms to create great work, that adds to our understanding of ourselves and the world, and helps move things forward positively.

We try to to practice what we preach. Our first book was printed by 'one of the world's most environmentally friendly companies' who use apple juice in their inks, and if we ever make money we plan to redistribute it.

If you would like to get involved - as a sponsor, writer, editor, diarist or just nice person to have around, then do say hello.

Jemma Banks - Costume Designer

Congratulations on a wicked site. I have been using XXXXX and random other net nonsense for a while and someone mailed your address to me today. really well done - info that's easy to find for ams & pros alike. Genius
Wolfie Beauclerk - Producer

What a fabulous site!
Mark Langdon - Chair, Scottish Filmmakers Network

Let me say that I love your site. After searching for hours on end to find ANY facts about the production and sales of documentaries I finally found you. Needless to say -- I was happy.
Manuela Goldenara, Documentary director

Congratulations. I have a 1/2 comedy drama "Wonderbait" in post and right now netribution couldn't be more perfect to help us get the film out there.
Joss Agnew - Producer

I've forwarded your website address to as many people that I know in this business. I wanted them to see what a great job you have done.
Dan Fischer-Pask

A quick word to say your site is fucking great... WELL DONE....
Cath Le Couteur - ShootingPeople.org

I'd like to congratulate the team there at netribution for developing such a wonderful resource. The 'net is becoming increasingly important in film making and whilst there are some good resources out there, many of them are not geared to needs of film makers in the UK. The gap has been filled. Well done. Practical example, yesterday I set up a company through my lawyer for £200. Today netribution tells me, in a step-by-step guide, how to do it myself for £31! Dohhhh!
Leslie Lowes - Penultimate Productions

It's the best I've seen in ages - so much useful info.
Tim Clague - Projector Films

Looks great - can't believe all the resources. You've done a fantastic job. It is a really useful resource. though the temptation is to cruise through it all and not sit down and write!! Cheers!
Gilli Moorhawk - Screenwriter

Just a note to say well done on the site, it looks great!!
Alf Nwawudu - Co-Founder & CEO, HoboMedia.com / Hobomusic.com

This is a wonderful web site which I greatly appreciate
Mary-Ann Lindenstadt

I've just recently discovered Netribution which I reckon is one of the best film websites out there. I think you are doing a fantastic job. Being a fairly recent reader I've only just stumbled across the biography of James McGregor. It's one of the funniest things I've read for weeks. In fact it's become a bit of an email classic at my office. The other film sites I've seen are all as dry as dust. It's refreshing to see a site with a bit of humour.
Nathan Brunswick

Just a quick note to say that your newsletter is fantastic! A wealth of info and insight into a creative world that a non-creative can merely dream about - nice one !!
Craig Moehl - Groovy Gecko

This is pretty bloody comprehensive, do you ever sleep?
Melinda McDougal

Let me say what a great and useful site Netribution is! I'm a screenwriter and have found some useful connections with UK based productions companies. Many thanks!
Tony Centurion - Screenwriter

I am a producer/writer and I have to say that I've just been pouring over your site for three hours taking in info that I've been looking for months. It's absolutely brilliant
David Beaumont

I've just had a look at your site. WOW!
Kenneth D Barker - Director of 'Kingdom'

I've just discovered your site and Id like to say that it looks like its going to be an endless help to me in the future (I haven't come anywhere near to seeing 'all' of it).
Marvin Belle - Luton University

Most of my research and work is done on the net and I have to say your site is one of the best I've come across for film.
