#filmmaker — Public Fediverse posts

We’re starting our 2026 Film Lab training in a month. We’re getting ready to welcome a new group of filmmakers and begin another eight months of learning, creating and making films together.
We’re excited to see what this new group will create.

"In the ultimate irony, a #documentary examining #antisemitism and the exclusion of #Jewish #artists from #Australia’s #culturalsector has been turned down by the ABC, SBS and the country’s two leading #film festivals.

#Cancelled, #directed by #Melbourne #filmmaker #DannyBenMoshe, will instead receive its world #premiere through the Jewish International #FilmFestival at special program-launch screenings in #Sydney and Melbourne in September.

The 88-minute documentary follows #singersongwriter #DeborahConway, #visualartist #NinaSanadze, #writer #JoshuaDabelstein and #circusartist #TaliaSofizade after the #Hamas-led attacks in southern #Israel on #October7, 2023.

It records allegations of professional exclusion, #doxxing, threats and hostility directed at Jewish artists.

Sydney Film Festival and Melbourne International Film Festival did not select the film. It was also declined by the ABC and SBS, #Australia’s publicly funded national broadcasters."

Filmmaking isn’t about talent. It’s about persistence. Plenty of talented filmmakers quit. The persistent ones keep making movies.

Fun fact: The average Hollywood film marketing budget is 2X the production budget. That means if a movie costs $100M to make, studios spend $200M to sell it. Could you do more with less?

Major studios make most of their money from merchandising, not ticket sales. That’s why Disney keeps making Star Wars.

Biggest indie film gamble? Kevin Smith put his entire $27K life savings into making Clerks. It grossed over $3 million. Not bad for a film shot in a convenience store after hours. Would you bet your life savings on a film?

Most indie filmmakers I meet are insanely talented—but they fail because they don’t know how to sell their film. Distribution is a business, not an art. Who’s learning how to market their movie?
