For bands and artists there <a href="http://members.cdbaby.com/" rel="nofollow">CD Baby</a> that can be used to sell songs/albums on iTunes. I don't think there's anything quite like it for films but you should check out <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2498123/how_do_you_get_your_indie_film_listed.html?cat=2" rel="nofollow">this article</a> on Associated Content.

On the other hand, with an app, you can deliver much more value than you can with a flat .m4v file.

Will it remain as difficult as it appears to be now? I am quite excited re the potential of iLife X, however are there are no mentions of publishing video through iTunes.
