Trends about indie films making are changing slowly.
So many films are made everyday which makes it very difficult to secure a theatrical release by the inide film-makers who are always tight on budget.
But nowadays there is great buzz of digital distribution. There are many platforms for digital release on the internet world like amazon, hulu, vimeo where the indie film makers can sell their films.
But however such film makers need a community or tribe or let's say audience first.
If you can create a group of millions of followers who are devoted fans of yours then every film released by you can be seen and paid for by them as they will come to know about your film through your blog.
Some of the benefits of having a blog for filmmakers:
- Through blog you can discuss what is in your mind and share your opinions with the world
- You can advertise, market and sell your films through your blog
- You can direct audience towards your film which is uploaded on any digital platform on amazon, or itunes etc.
