SpiritClips.com- Website Wednesday
Here at Does Mommy Love It?, we will be featuring one website per week on Wednesdays. This way we can make sure we are reviewing places you should (or shouldn’t) visit everyday!
THIS CONTEST HAS NOW ENDED CONGRATULATIONS ELIZABETH M.
When Gerrit approached me to review a new short film website called SpiritClips.com, I gladly obliged. When I asked for more information, he pitched me this:
SpiritClips was founded by Academy-Award winning producer Rob Fried, whose films include the inspirational classic “Rudy,” the dark comedy, “So I Married an Axe Murderer” and the award-winning Tom Cruise/Jamie Fox blockbuster “Collateral,” among others. Rob’s goal with SpiritClips is to create inspiring films that are outside the influence of the Hollywood studio system, reflect his personal values, and set a new precedent for innovative content online.
SpiritClips.com offers this original collection of short, inspirational, high-quality films for online streaming. All the films are available on a pay-per-view or subscription basis. People can also purchase “FilmCards” so that they can personalize any film as a gift to send to friends or family.
Every film, whether live action, animation or documentary, is created with the same craftsmanship and commitment to quality as a feature film. Each story pivots on a universal feeling or value and is intended to evoke a positive emotional reaction, hopefully inspiring the viewer to reflect on his or her own life and also to share the film experience with others.
10 films are currently available online, and SpiritClips’ intends to create and add a new film every month.
SpiritClips films are available exclusively through the SpiritClips.com website, an ad-free forum where users can connect with each other to discuss the films. Users are encouraged to share their personal experiences and to submit their own inspirational stories which the filmmakers at SpiritClips will review and possibly adapt for a new SpiritClips film.”
Greatly intrigued, I asked for a trial membership. In my mind, I pictured some version of You Tube but with positive messages only. Boy, was I wrong! These films and this site are on a whole new level of quality. Film lovers make up the delightful community. Several of the short films left tears in my eyes. Spirit Clips is in no way comparable to You Tube. It’s on a league of its own.
The video card feature is my favorite. I love that you can send your friend a high-quality video card that could move and inspire them. I sent several to my friends.
I definitely think that if you love little films that move you, getting a membership to this site would be highly worthwhile. There are 3 types of memberships,
1. Free Membership- 1 FREE film card, .99 per film view, $2.99 per film card.
2. Premium Membership $9.99/year- Unlimited film views plus 10 included filmcards
a value of over $30. (Additonal filmcards only 99¢ each).
