David Nicholas Wilkinson: before Creators, the original filmmaker-as-distributor
45 minutes of one man speaking isn't what today's web video looks like – even peppered with clickworthy stories of giving Kenneth Branagh his first TV job, giving Antony Hopkins his first directing gig, the director confessions of John Schlesinger or the origin of Phil Colins' music career. But what David has in common with the modern web's Creator universe is he started distributing his own films – long before that was a thing. He pioneered making films he would also sell and find an audience for, while resolutely avoiding Hollywood and sticking with the stories and people he believed in. This interview follows David from paper-round to model, actor in London's West End - bullied for his working class background - then on to production as the BBC's first indie producer in the 80s. Then in the 90s, after unintentionally inventing the Special Interest video genre distributing his James Herriot's Yorkshire –which made back its investment 15 times over– he became a distributor. He's now finishing his fifth feature documentary as director/distributor about his experience of - and learning – around bowel cancer. -
Web pioneer Cath Le Couteur on digital utopias, closing Shooting People, film collectives & the future.
> "I'm not an anti-tech person. Shooters was built on technology. But I am mindful that we want technology that doesn't extract, technology that enables people." Long before social networks and smart phones in the mid-90s, Cath entered the world's first cyber-cafe in Soho, London to message a cyber-girlfriend in Australia. There she met Cyberia's founder Eva Pascoe, and joined the woman-owned company that shaped the early-90s UK web-scene. Next she went to BBC Online, still a quirky start-up at the BBC figuring out How To Internet, befriended the late Jess Search who started producing her films. Using London Filmmakers Coop to borrow their kit they have a Big Idea – what if the film coop culture of filmmakers helping each other, met the Usenet lists, forums and chat-rooms Cath encountered at Cyberia? So together they founded Shooting People in 1998, a daily email bulletin running on GNU Mailman. It began with 60 email addresses and grew… -

@ShaulaEvans @writing I tend to use the hastags #IndieFilmMaking #IndieFilmMakers when I post about stuff we're doing. To be honest, I don't think there is quite the community here compared to somewhere like BlueSky, but I hold out hope that I've just not made contact with it yet.

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?

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?

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.

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.

Profile: Elena Rossini, pioneering Italian filmmaker charting a path away from big tech.
Self-declared ‘geriatric millennial’ Elena Rossini (@_elena) isn’t content to just make documentaries, self-distribute and market them thru a web of nicely designed sites – she’s pioneering in her use of tech away, and at home on the ‘Fediverse’ – the decentralised alternative to Big Tech, which her next film looks at.

Profile: Ugandan sci-fi author & filmmaker Dilman Dila, running a micro-studio on a web that rarely treats Africans as equals.
It’s not easy to quickly summarise award-winning Ugandan Dilman Dila’s work: he’s made Nepalese documentaries like The Sound of One Leg Dancing, published a short story collection A Killing in the Sun and acclaimed novels, made hit YouTube shorts like What Happened in Room 13, shot an African Academy Award-nominated feature the Felista’s Fable, and thru his production company Dil Stories, produced multiple TV series for DStv (pan-African Satellite TV channel). He blogs and advocates extensively, and has made the Fediverse his home at @dilmandila & on PeerTube and, like Netribution@25, turned his WordPres blogs into a subscribeble social media node. His next film is the Night Dancer – about a deadly dance-off, with crowdfunding invited here – on his own site because Kickstarter and IndieGogo disallow projects from much of Africa (unlike Patreon), which he discusses here.

I have a few areas I need to improve in, so I want to take a really good, comprehensive filmmaking course online. Ideally one that covers production and cinematography, as well as the business side past the 101 level. Any recommendations on which you think are worth the time and cost?

We had a good yomp around a large film set for a pre-production meeting yesterday - my first as a producer. This was taken at the end of the day and shows that we're still smiling after assessing the size of the job. Onwards! #Producer #SupportIndieFilm #IndieFilmmaking #HorrorFilm #HorrorFamily

Producing an independent horror film on a low budget. Great script, REALLY great location. We're in pre-production. Suddenly, we have a number of fantastic - FANTASTIC - names from the acting world interested and suggesting it to their - again - great friends. Now it looks like our budget may have to change. Not sure if this is a good problem or not! #indiefilm #producer #preproduction #horrorfilm #horrormovie #indiefilmmaking #investment #filmfinance
