Amazon.com and Microsoft have come together to launch the 1,000 Indies Project, in which the online retailer will sell independent films in the HD DVD format via its CustomFlix DVD on Demand service. The venture, according to Microsoft, is designed to lower the barriers to entry for filmmakers to produce and distribute movies in the HD DVD format by providing free authoring and setup services for as many as 1,000 selected indie titles. Joining the two companies, the Sundance Channel will review the high-definition features for possible broadcast on the pay-TV network.
