News about Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach’s movie Iron Lung say that it will be “self-released”. Does anyone know more about this? Will it be possible to download it from somewhere, or maybe is it available already now?

Thank you for your shared info!

    As discussed in this article:

    Markplier’s plan? To not only get Iron Lung up for digital purchase on YouTube, but to also set up a new system within YouTube where other filmmakers can do the same with their films.

    Markiplier explains in a new video, “The reason Iron Lung‘s digital release has been taking so long is because I’ve been taking the extra steps to work out this deal where I can become this aggregator so that other people can benefit from it. That’s the goal. And that’s what I’ve been trying to do. And there’s a lot of legal loopholes to do it, and there’s a lot of setup to do it.”

    […]
    As for the physical media release of Iron Lung, that’s also in the works. He explains that he’s going to literally have a DVD/Blu-ray machine that will be auto-producing copies of Iron Lung in his home, allowing him to self distribute the film on physical media.

      Thanks for the info! 🚀

      Very nice what he’s doing, although I’ll prefer to get it from other sources than YouTube (which I suppose will get a commission).
