If you’re a filmmaker, especially if you’re an indie filmmaker,I’m pretty sure you would not consider releasing your film on USB flash drives. First of all, it’s pretty expensive. If you’re going to put a 2-hour film, you need a flash drive that has a high capacity. Movies released on flash drives usually cost $40 or more. But you can certainly use USB flash drives as promotional items for your film. Just put your trailers, behind-the-scenes pictures, bloopers, posters, etc in the flash and sell your flash drives at $7 or less.
Check out these promotional USB drives for movies (some are actual movie releases, though) and get inspired:
