Vuulr accelerates online buying & selling of content with new tool indiantelevision.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from indiantelevision.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The feature looks to build on Vuulr’s goal of streamlining the film buying and selling process, Thomas Hughes, Vuulr’s CEO of Americas, told TheWrap.
“We are so focused on hammering the inefficiencies out of this process,” Hughes said. “This is just a natural next step.”
For those unfamiliar with the company, Vuulr launched in early 2019, aiming to trim as much fat from the deal-making process as possible. The framework is simple enough: Vuulr allows approved content sellers to post their shows or movies to the site for free, while also allowing approved buyers to scan its content library for free. All deals are negotiated online, with buyers able to watch screeners and immediately make acquisition offers; when a match is made, Vuulr gets a small cut.

Apparently, it was rescheduled and happened mostly offscreen. What’s left in these seven easily-binged episodes is a post-apocalyptic Australia, straight out of

Nearly as demanding is his newest role on the NBC sci-fi series
