Indie Filmmaking: 35 Tips From Experts
Last weekend’s “Produced By” Conference, as reported by Nikki Finke, came up with some great tips for indie filmmakers. Among the top 10 things you should or should do were: change the title of your film to begin with a “A” to get higher placement on iTumes, experiment with new ways to market and promote your film, expect things to be tough cause we’re in tough economic times, back up your creative ideas with a solid budget and schedule, don’t expect foreign presales to bring in as much as in years past, producers with a successful track record will have an easier time than those who don’t, pay attention to genre and don’t get yourself into something so offbeat there’s no audience for it, get some name talent!, bank financing has dropped 66%, understand your audience from the get go.
