Filmmaker: What are the costs involved for us?
FilmFestJunkie: There are no direct costs for filmmakers. Just profit. It's a service we offer to filmmakers because we want to build a bridge between independent filmmakers and their global audiences. The platform, FFJ, makes money when films are screened. It keeps us hungry and reminds us to market!
There are other costs for filmmakers which should not be overlooked. Independent filmmakers are responsible for promoting and marketing their films (no matter then length or genre) - even Tarantino promotes the heck out of his films.
Film festivals are an excellent avenue for promoting indie films. There is little cost for this sort of promotion and a savvy filmmaker can get ample marketing and press from being on the festival circuit. This sort of publicity is invaluable and free!
A filmmaker who rests on their laurels before the marketing, advertising and promotion of their film is done will not reap the same rewards as a filmmaker who actively promotes and markets their film.
The money is there. Earn it! FilmFestJunkie has no sign-up fees, set-up fees, dues, or the like. We don't make money directly off filmmakers. We make money directly off the films... and we help you do the same! FFJ considers filmmakers to be partners and allies with common goals.
FilmFestJunkie is here to help filmmakers reach a global audience. The platform is not here to do it for the filmmaker. Don't let your film fall through the cracks. It's a new day and it is the filmmaker who can choose the destiny of their film!
