I came across Democracy TV from http://www.getdemocracy.com/ a couple of years ago. It makes uses some of the best of the webs protocols, RSS, Bittorrent, and the big video hosting sites like YouTube, to allow independent and short film makers get their content out.

Install the client, subscribe to channels, and download and watch what you're interested in. ( if you use Ubuntu see http://www.getdemocracy.com/downloads/ubuntu.php )
