Today vimeo is releasing six full-length movies as a preview of the new pay-to-view service coming in early 2013.

You can purchase these movies right on Vimeo and watch them on any compatible device: smartphones, tablets, game consoles, connected TVs, and other alien technologies. These films are exemplars of a new age of creative sustainability, one in which creators can sell their own work directly to their fans on their own terms. Learn more and watch all the films on vimeo.com/movies.

The mission of vimeo is to support totally original video and the people who create it, which means providing more than a home. It means creating an environment where creators can access the resources to make their next film, and the one after that. The new pay-to-view service enables creators to upload and distribute work that they depend on for their livelihood, all with easy setup and affordable rates. In turn, the vimeo community gets access to amazing work from the world’s leading filmmakers.

Vimeo started the Creator Services party with Tip Jar, and they are continuing it with the  pay-to-view service in order to make Vimeo the perfect place to discover and share exceptional work: for creators, fans, and anyone who loves great film.
