What You Need to Know Before Mak­ing a Movie

If you’ve got an idea for a film but don’t know where to go or how to start, this is your oppor­tu­nity to find out how to suc­cess­fully take your idea from script to screen. Far too many new­bies just go out and shoot a film which ends up col­lect­ing dust on their book­shelf. Don’t fall into that trap! Movie-making is way more than just pick­ing up a cam­era and shoot­ing if you hope to sell your film. You have to make a film that a dis­trib­u­tor wants to buy and that an audi­ence wants to see. And it’s not about what you think, its about how your film is per­ceived by them.

In this tele­sem­i­nar I will share with you the 10 most impor­tant things you MUST know before embark­ing on your film­mak­ing jour­ney. From rais­ing money for your film, cast­ing and pre-production to mar­ket­ing, post and dis­tri­b­u­tion..   60 MINS.

Pack­ag­ing Your Film

If you’re hav­ing a tough time get­ting financ­ing and dis­tri­b­u­tion for your film, this tele­sem­i­nar will show you how each ele­ment in your pack­age — script, cast, crew, bud­get, mar­ket­ing strat­egy, dis­tri­b­u­tion plan and finan­cial pro­jec­tions — should be put together so it increases the value of your film and attracts investors and dis­trib­u­tors. 60 MINS.

Beyond Post: My Film is Com­plete, Now What?

What are you going to do now that your film has wrapped and its out of post?  What are the next impor­tant steps you should be tak­ing? How are you going to get your film onto the sil­ver screen and/or into the hands of the home video-buying pub­lic?  Don’t let your film col­lect dust on the shelf.  In this telsem­i­nar I show you how to design a suc­cess­ful mar­ket­ing, pro­mo­tion, and dis­tri­b­u­tion strat­egy and make money from your film. Some of the ques­tions you’re prob­a­bly ask­ing your­self are … How do I get a the­atri­cal and/or direct-to-video dis­tri­b­u­tion deal?  Do I need an agent, attor­ney or man­ager?  Should I seek out a producer’s or sales rep?  What film mar­kets should I attend?  What film fes­ti­vals should I apply to?  What kind of “pack­age” do I need? How do I get my film into the hands of acqui­si­tions exec­u­tives?  What strate­gies can I employ to increase my chances for suc­cess? If you’re look­ing to get your film off the ground in the indie film mar­ket­place, join me as I share strate­gies for mar­ket­ing, pro­mot­ing & dis­trib­ut­ing your indie film in this 60 minute tele­sem­i­nar. 60 MINS.
