At least as of right now, if you’re going to sell anything on the internet, you need to build your email list. Since most filmmakers aren’t really marketers, here’s a basic guide to building your email list of potential customers so that you’ll have an easier time selling your film once it’s time to distribute it.
Last week I shared a few different types of printed materials to use at film festivals. This week, I thought I’d follow up with a post on the essential components of Indiefilm Electronic Press Kit. I will say that this is one thing where reasonable people can disagree, so if you think there’s something I missed, comment it below and I might change the post to include it.
Most filmmakers only think about festivals when they’re getting ready to market their film. There are lots of reasons that this line of thinking is flawed, however it would take far more than a 600-800 word blog to even begin to touch on them. However, if you’re going to have ANY level of success from your festival run, you’re going to need some bomb printed materials. This blog outlines a couple of examples I’ve used personally and had success with.
One of the things that most filmmakers tend to struggle with tends to be creating a website for their projects. Given that it’s nearly 2019, your business needs a website, and it needs to be good. However, many filmmakers websites tend to be hard to navigate, overly complicated, or focus more on the photos from the shoot than the subject of the project. So, I thought I would create a post outlining some of the best practices in creating a website that I’ve come across.
If you’re a filmmaker, you’ve probably heard that making genre pictures is generally the best way to get your start. They can be a good way for you to start developing a community, and building a brand around yourself, your company, and your work. But the popular genres change on something of a regular basis. So to start the new year off right, I’m writing this blog to share the hot genres of 2019.
