Hey guys, I'm working on my film thesis right now. One of the objectives of this project is to get the word out the film. Marketing, advertising and stuff. Once its released, I plan to give a couple of freebies (shirts, soundtrack, DVD's) to those who watch it. Screening is free, supposedly. I was thinking, when is it the right time to actually charge for those stuff ie. freebies/screening? I realized that my film isn't really that "big" enough to actually charge money. People might think, "I don't know anybody from this movie. Its just a student movie, so why would I pay for it?".
What do you guys think?
