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?

If your indie film takes 5+ years to finish, it’s not a passion project. It’s a procrastination project.

#SuperRichBullies vs. The #USLegalSystem

Here's why #advocacygroups should invetsigate and get their facts first before punching down on a #Filmmaker who is trying to fight against #SuperRichBullies

Film investors don’t fund movies. They fund money-making machines. If you can’t prove how your film will make them money, they won’t invest. Period.

Agree or disagree? Let’s argue in the comments.

The biggest lie filmmakers believe: 'If my film is good, it will find an audience.' Nope. Without marketing, your masterpiece is just a really expensive secret.

There’s never been a better time to be an indie filmmaker. You don’t need permission. You just need a plan. Who’s making a movie this year?

Your film didn’t flop because ‘people don’t appreciate indie cinema.’ It flopped because no one knew it existed.

Stop thinking of yourself as ‘just a filmmaker.’ If you’re not also a marketer, fundraiser, and entrepreneur, you won’t survive.
