Netflix doesn’t care about your film’s festival awards. They care about data. Streaming is a numbers game—know your audience or get left behind. #FilmDistribution #MovieMoney #Filmmaking #Filmmaker #Cinematography #IndieFilm #ShortFilm #Director #FilmmakersLife #SetLife #IndieFilmmaker #FilmmakingLife #FilmProduction #FilmFestival #IndieFilmmaking #DirectorOfPhotography #FilmmakerCommunity #SupportIndieFilm #NoBudgetFilm
Your first film won't be your masterpiece.

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.
