Best Way to Make Money as a Director with Your Own Films.
“You are not going to sell this film, I have no idea how you can sell it or make any money from it. Cut it too short film length and run the festivals”
That was said to me after two years of hard work spent on my first feature film by a film producer who has a few million-dollar films under his belt. I was devastated, but what happened in the coming months blew my mind away.
How It Started
The day I decided to become a filmmaker and actually do something about it, not just dream was the moment I told myself — “Raise whatever amount of cash you can and make a feature film with it.” Oh boy, did I have a few life knock out punches waiting for me on that life choice.
Before I get into the nitty-gritty I want to let you know that I have a feature film on Amazon Prime. It’s called The Garden’s Keeper and it’s pretty much everywhere. It’s in about 120 countries. Not bad for an indie film made with less than $1000.
I don’t expect you to watch the film, because I have been told it’s unwatchable by more than a few people, but If you are into filmmaking then I do urge you to check it out just. You can use it as inspiration to start your filmmaking career.
