Creative Commons licensing the Katherina movie teaser trailer

An old friend of mine in the UK is making a movie, Katherina, which I am looking forward to seeing. It's a big-budget 35mm production, using British and American talent both in front of and behind the camera about Saint Catherine of Alexandria, who was famously martyred by being broken on a wheel for challenging church authorities in 329AD.

He's put together a great teaser trailer based on what's been shot so far, and he asked me how to get it up on the net, as I know this online video stuff.

A few years ago the answer would involve complicated hosting and mirroring, and an upfront guess on how many people downloaded it, but it struck me that this was a chance to show how things are different now.

I convinced him to use a Creative Commons license on the trailer, and I've put up a high-quality Bittorrent of the Katherina trailer.

So, download it, tell your friends, and tag any comments with spikedwheel.
