Informational articles on how premieres and revenue generation during COVID-19 for completed projects: 6 Ways Filmmakers Can Market Their Online Premieres How Filmmakers Can Have Online Premieres During Covid-19 5 Reasons Why Filmmakers Should Stop Premiering The Content For Free Why Online...

Hi Everyone! During COVID and while everyone is stuck inside, we're doing a special promo for web series in which we would help promote and pay filmmakers who want to have watch parties with web series, documentaries and shorts. More info and submit here...

The pricing is really set by the filmmaker. Going back to $3/$3/$1, think of as Filmmaker Price/ Organizer / Binge. The organizer is always paid a flat fee of $3. The filmmaker can up and lower thier price as they please, so it can be $6/$3/$1, which is a $10 ticket shown to the customer. I...

@CelticRambler Based on feedback here, I am changing my messaging from "No Budget" to "Limited Budgets". Looking at articles like this one that describe the different release types for movies: https://americanfilmmarket.com/how-many-independent-films-get-a-theatrical-release/ 83% of movies get...

Haha! I am a computer engineer but I despise math, enjoy logic though. If you're a fan of the TV series Silicon Valley, that sounds like the PiedPiper video compression algorithm. Maybe in the future when I am able to hire and pay someone much smarter than me. I feel conflicted being compared...

@Sweetie How is not a tech play? Or what is your vision of a tech play? I am assuming your talking about projects like Distribber and its recent blow-up. Yes it happens unfortunately. We are entering a new era where there is a lot of opportunity but also risk. MoviePass failed but its failure...

@CelticRambler I 100% agree right now it is over-simplistic, and also to your point its because the concept has not scaled to the point where it has "real" issues yet. We also have to account the difference in markets. Using your Airbnb example, your in the EU and I'm in the United States. I...

@directorik @CelticRambler So the answer to this question right now is "I'm not 100% sure". Our goals are too: Keep ticket prices fair and at a equilibrium to maximize profit vs attendance Give filmmakers the opportunity to make money through a release Give us the ability to come out...

Yes that is an awesome idea! Take away some of the complexity from running film festivals. My vision though is bigger than film festivals. Festivals have great films but its not a constant thing. I like anime, I would love to watch new anime movies with other people but I can't because the...

Here is my vision for the future. You've created an awesome, quality film (good script, very good acting, great equipment, etc). It may not have any big names but its def worth the watch. You may have gotten the Netflix/Hulu/Amazon deal, but your film won't be on VOD for another 3 months...

Any place that quality audio/video equipmemnt. - Almost every church has a projector + sound systems - Bars/Lounges/Restaurant have viewing rooms that they will allow free use if ppl buy food/drink - Co-work spaces that want people in their space - Community centers List goes on.

@CelticRambler Yes, good points here. If there's any headache, it's around performance rights...was in university, we had a film-night....I frequently come across out-door screenings of classic movies YES! YES YES! This is the biggest issues. As people in the film industry, we have to remove...

@indietalk Per your comment: where you partner with theaters That is against our model per the thread above. We are against theaters, not for them. Hard pill to swallow at first, but companies like Airbnb/Uber and other had the same push back initially bc it was different. I'm 100% use to this...

@directorik Good thoughts! I do find it interesting that you believe the business model of movie theaters doesn't work. It seems to be working just fine from my perspective. Ticket sales are declining while ticket prices are increasing to cover people spending less. Its whats known as a death...
