Founded in 2019, Wright Family Films follow a production model that integrates their immediate family into every facet of the filmmaking process. This “family-unit” methodology results in a body of work that is distinctive for its thematic consistency, ideological rigidity, and frequent technical and narrative lapses.

Two films, two failures of craft: one mistakes lectures for drama, the other asks us to believe grown men don’t know what a naked woman looks like. Representation isn’t the problem. Transparency, laziness, and narrative incoherence are. Serious subjects deserve serious filmmaking.

Cinema loves dying girls who never get sick, never get ugly, and never disrupt the romance. Three films, one lie: terminal illness as a decorative subplot.

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.

Me: I just need $50K to make my movie.
Also me: Spends $7K on a new camera.

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?

Your script isn’t too ‘ambitious.’ You just haven’t figured out how to make it work with the resources you have.

A year ago today we filmed "Things We Do For Love" with Sarah Lidstone, Josh Alexander and Molly Jackson. It was a lot of fun, shot in half-a-day and brings a little fun to a debate that still rages to this day.

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.

‘Filmmaking is not about equipment. It’s about story. A great filmmaker can make a masterpiece on a phone.’ – Robert Rodriguez"

No one cares about your 120-page masterpiece. If you can’t pitch it in one sentence, it won’t sell.

Most indie filmmakers spend $0 on marketing. That’s why most indie films make $0 back. What’s the best low-cost way to promote a film?

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.

Your first film isn’t going to be your masterpiece. It’s going to be your learning experience. Just make the damn movie. #IndieFilmCommunity #FilmmakingTruths #Filmmaking #Filmmaker #Cinematography #IndieFilm #ShortFilm #Director #FilmmakersLife #SetLife #IndieFilmmaker #FilmmakingLife #FilmProduction #FilmFestival #IndieFilmmaking #DirectorOfPhotography #FilmmakerCommunity #SupportIndieFilm #NoBudgetFilm

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.
