As a producer, my first goal is to find a great idea for a movie. My second goal is to make that film look and sound as great as it can. My third goal is to make the first two goals with as little money as possible. #filmmaking #indiefilmmaking #indiefilmmaker #moviemaking

Whether you #distribute your #film through a traditional #distribution and #salescompany, or hire a #filmaggregator, take time to understand #keywording. Learn how basic #searchalgorithms work. #diyfilmmaking #indiefilmmakers #indiefilmmaking #filmmakers #filmmakingtips

If your dream is to #makeyourown movies, focus on that. #Hollywood only rewards people who do not need rewarding. Hollywood only gives breaks to those who don’t need them. Hollywood is NOT the only universe you can be or thrive as a #filmmaker. #filmmakers #indiefilmmaking

#SEO, is one of the biggest tools you can use as a #filmmaker to develop your film’s title. Oftentimes, #filmmakers try to be too be elusive and mysterious. They create titles so elusive and mysterious that no one ever finds them! 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Embrace #data! Just having a good idea is not good enough. Your good #screenplay has to be backed with a good title, rich #keywords and an audience focus that will help it #succeed. #filmmaking #filmmaker #indiefilmmaking #diyfilmmaking #filmmakimgtips #filmmakingbooks

When I think about the word “longevity” the idea of running a marathon comes to mind. It's about the pace in which you manage, not always speed. This is an important thing to consider when producing your film. #filmmaking #filmmakingtips #filmmakers #moviemaking #filmmakingbooks
