HISTORY MADE 🗽

🎬 Most indie films never make it past the script stage…

📊 The stats:
• 50K+ films hit festivals yearly — <1% Sundance
• Avg indie = <$250k vs Hollywood $40M+
• <2% get major distribution
• Most earn <$25k (streaming = real scale)
• Kickstarter success = 37–40%

Solving a problem I personally have (and KNOW a larger community does).

It’s something I WANT.
Something I’m BUILDING.
Something few realize is WORTH DOING.

Grateful for #vibecoding tools like @cursor_ai & @lovable 🙌 Excited to build for the future of #indiefilmmakers 🫡

Strategy > Talent.

Unfinished films don’t fail because of creativity. They fail because there was no plan to finish.

Filmmakers need to think like founders:
Proof of concept → intentional festivals → distributors → investors → scale.

Finished = Strategy

[thejoebell @josephbellb]

Every successful indie film… is a startup in disguise. 🎬💡

VISION → TEAM → PITCH → LAUNCH → METRICS → NEXT ROUND.

The only difference?
One builds software.
The other builds stories.

Smart investors are catching on. Are you?

All to say, wtf bro 😤 I was so annoyed that this dude was preparing to do something to me behind my back… public transport really has an interesting crowd man. 😅

[thejoebell @josephbellb]

I turn my AirPods down and watch the camera screen in front of me about 10 feet away. Ski mask quickly shifts directly behind me for NO CLEAR reason, other than to do or peeper to do something. Him and I are the only ones in the back…

[thejoebell @josephbellb]

Mind you this dude was fidgety and constantly looking around.

I look in the camera behind in front of me and see that he’s low key starting to reach down.

F*$k that Sh*t! I stood up casually with my spider senses tingling and walked to the front. And stood by a crowded door…

[thejoebell @josephbellb]

Mind you ski mask man was diagonal to my right. The man behind me leaves. Now it’s me and ski mask. I felt something was off, however I stayed where I was. About 2 minutes go by and the bus pulls away from a stop…

[thejoebell @josephbellb]

Been a minute on this platform! However I need to share an incident I encountered on the bus this morning.

I walk to the back of the bus and there were 2 people already there. One man was casually chillin 2 seats behind me and another had a ski mask on with a dark energy…
