In fact, you might have made one of them. Now if filmmaking is a hobby to you, or maybe creating a small sensation on YouTube, or getting into an obscure film festival and selling a few DVDs from the trunk of your car is the height of your ambition, then great. Have a blast, but don't give up your day job.
However, if your ultimate goal is to tell compelling stories, get your movies seen, and find the best distribution available so that you can create a viable career, then you’ve come to right place.
I do want to be honest, though. The chances are you’re not going to to make a million bucks with online distribution alone. Not yet, anyway. What Fans Of Film offers is the first step. The first step is getting your movie noticed. Building an audience and generating a stream of income for you (and not some multi-national company) comes after that. If your work generates enough buzz, that certain Hollywood producer might see it and offer you a lucrative distribution deal --maybe even an advance on your next flick.
The distribution game is changing with every day for a variety of reasons. No one can be sure what the next 'big deal' with distribution will be. But when the dust clears one of these days, you can be sure that the internet will be at the heart of video distribution.
This is your chance to get in on the game with minimal investment and risk to you. We provide you with everything you need to know about online distribution techniques and internet marketing. So welcome aboard.
For Independent Film Fans
I'm sure most of you know the familiar experience of flipping through an endless parade of cable channels looking for something interesting to watch often settling for something uninteresting or previously seen. Maybe the thought of someone else telling you what you can watch and when you can isn't appealing. Sure, a DVR can satisfy the need to time-shift the shows you actually want to watch, but what about 'all the other stuff' out there? YouTube is fine if you like watching cats flushing toilets on a low-quality player that stutters like it's drunk.
The good news is that the marriage between the internet and TV is just about to be consummated. A number of companies are releasing technologies such as wireless HDMI and media extenders like the Apple TV and the xbmc project. This opens up opportunities for viewers to see independent filmmakers' movies on their large screen TV, not some puny computer monitor.
Our goal is build the best selection of content that you may never have had the chance to see anywhere else. We also want to encourage and support the careers of independent filmmakers worldwide. Fans of Film was created to help independent filmmakers overcome the traditional obstacles they face while connecting hungry audiences with their creations.
