Marketing & Distributing Your Movie on the Internet
I was surfing the net the other day and I discovered this program about Marketing and Distributing Your Film on the Internet.
I was fascinated and thought it would be a good post to add after the three-part series from the South Park guys, Trey Parker and Matt Stone (with Lloyd Kaufman interviewing).
Link to Part 1: Trey, Matt & Lloyd
Link to Part 2: Trey & Lloyd
Link to Part 3: Matt & Lloyd
In part 3, Matt mentions that he actually saw more of a back end with Cannibal! The Musical
It makes me feel very drawn to this program (Internet Marketing for Filmmakers) because not only do you get to keep creative control of your film (something that most filmmakers – even big time filmmakers working with the giant studios – don’t often get), you also are given a technique to market your movie and make money from your hard work.
This program will get you thinking of the selling of your movie many stages before you get to the distribution stage.
I like that because while it is important to follow your passion and your heart with your subject matter, it is also important to balance that with an audience that will want to watch what you have created.
I just found Internet Marketing for Filmmakers, so I have yet to try it out. I will probably try it in the next few months, but right now I’m back in school and I’m not really thinking about producing any major film projects for at least 6-12 months.
But I thought it would be cool to pass on, since this seems to be a major question that filmmakers have when they set out to practice their art.
This would also help those asking how to become an actor, because often it is not the most technically skilled actor that has the superstar career… it is the one that can create the most heat and the most buzz on a consistent basis. It looks like this program will help you do that with the films that you create.
If you do try it out, please let me know how you like it. Leave comments below!
Thanks!
