From the website:

For independent creators, AtomFilms is a pipeline to the big time. We license and develop content, pay real money, and distribute to huge audiences on the Internet, television, and mobile phones. AtomFilms expanded in May 2007 with the addition of a new section called AtomUploads, which enables users to immediately post and share their own videos, while helping us find new content that's right for commercial distribution on AtomFilms.
