Retool, rethink - don't let fear of success stop anyone from doing what they were meant to be on the planet to do.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you all are enjoying your holidays, or holidaze more accurately. From cookies to chocolate, stuffing to being stuffed, it's a time of the year where we can all look back on where we thought we were going and whether we got there or not.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This was a year where the DIY Film Festival shifted out of WithoutABox website into <a href="https://filmfreeway.com/TheDIYFilmFestival" target="_blank">Film Freeway. </a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The jury is out, as they say, whether that will be an effective move. We focus on do it yourself filmmaking and filmmakers, and have a history of highlighting some really interesting and different works that their creators have submitted to our festival. As noted, we used to have screenings at the Egyptian in Hollywood - and eventually we found that our audience was mostly online, quite a few overseas and from around the globe.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We've highlighted film from around the globe; from Ukraine, from Syria, from Iran, from India, from Australia, New Zealand and all points inbetween. It didn't make sense for us to invite filmmakers to come to Hollywood at their own expense - and because streaming services have become so advanced, we took the leap into the cyber world of film festivals.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We like to highlight stories from a variety of places, passions - and Pinnacle Editing systems has been instrumental in giving us packages to the award winners. But just making the film, finishing the film can be a reward in itself. It takes a lot of time effort and help from others in order to finish a film - and we are aware of all that effort entails.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is just one of many venues that people can submit their film to, one of many festivals to highlight the creative effort put into a work. One never knows who is going to be inspired by doing so.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

That filmmaker reached out to us after the awards ceremony and said that he felt encouraged by the award, that despite having a good day job doing work in the film business for others, the encouragement and recognition gave him something else to consider and is now directing feature films and advertising.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We have seen other filmmakers make incredible pieces with special effects, with great acting, with comic twists and turns - but what they have in common is not that they made it with an eye to their wallet, but with an eye to their hearts.</span><br />

Giving gifts that come from the heart. And we at the DIY Film Fest like to point out that gifts can come in all sizes, including films that are</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> made from the heart, and when finished, folks are looking for a place to have their work highlighted.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We used to have people mail in DVDs - and now that WithoutaBox has disappeared, we may one day find a different method for receiving submissions. But for the time being we're using FilmFreeway to see how that goes. We've been at this for 16 years, and the films themselves can be seen at the side of this page, or links to them can be found there. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">We are the only official DIY FILM FESTIVAL - a copyrighted concept - and we understand and appreciate that as a concept others may want to use that title to apply for their own work. "Doing it yourself" is a concept that comes out of the age we live in, where "when the cost of filmmaking is as much as a pencil and a piece of paper, then we will have true art in film" (to paraphrase Jean Cocteau)... so we encourage everyone to do the thing that moves them, put that thing that moves them into a camera, and edit that thing that moves them into a film.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One doesn't need to submit a film to a festival in order to complete their mission - it's nice to be asked into Sundance, Toronto, or the Cannes Film Festival (among others) and depending upon the city, there are some really fun and life changing festivals to be part of. </span><br />

Apple’s popular media supermarket is a good location to make money from your videos. However, “user-generated” content (i.e. amateur material made with a smartphone or webcam) is not accepted. Instead, you need to be producing top quality material — movies or documentaries — and teaming up with an approved “aggregator”.</div>

So far we’ve looked purely at the sites that are focused on maximizing profits from your videos. However, there are several other websites you can use to make money.</div>
</h1>
<h3 style="color: #432d2d; font-family: "Source Sans Pro"; font-size: 24px;">
<a href="https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6304294" target="_blank">YouTube</a></h3>
<h1 class="entry-title" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="color: #432d2d; font-family: "Libre Franklin"; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.7;">
Perhaps the most obvious option, building a successful YouTube channel full of videos can work to your advantage. While it might be tempting to simply monetize everything and wait for the coins to roll in, other tactics also work. For instance, you can use YouTube to showcase some of your videos and prompt people to buy them via the services above.</div>
</h1>
<h3 style="color: #432d2d; font-family: "Source Sans Pro"; font-size: 24px;">
iTunes</h3>
<h1 class="entry-title" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">
<div class="linked-out" style="color: #432d2d; font-family: "Libre Franklin"; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.7;">
If using Apple’s iTunes Partners isn’t ideal for you, it’s still possible to leverage iTunes’ massive audience. To do this, you’ll need to create a video podcast, with its own RSS feed. Via the iTunes app, <a href="https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-start-podcast/" style="background-color: transparent; color: #e22524; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94) 0s;">create a new podcast, using the RSS feed</a>. While you won’t be making money directly with this approach, it can be used to highlight your content on other services.</div>
</h1>
<h3 style="color: #432d2d; font-family: "Source Sans Pro"; font-size: 24px;">
Your Website or Blog</h3>
<h1 class="entry-title" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">

Of course, you’ll need a massive audience to make big bucks, but there is no reason why you cannot use a self-hosted platform to showcase your work. From this stage, you might opt to use one of the five services above to sell your wares, or a digital distribution and delivery service linked to your site.</div>

You’re a movie maker, and you want to make money. Let’s be honest, you’re hitting the level of a professional, so it’s time to build your profile. What better way than a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA)? There are two options here: find a suitable channel (<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/moviemaking/" rel="noopener" style="background-color: transparent; color: #e22524; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94) 0s;" target="_blank">/r/moviemaking</a> for instance) and contact the moderators to propose it. Otherwise, you could also use the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AMA/" rel="noopener" style="background-color: transparent; color: #e22524; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94) 0s;" target="_blank">/r/AMA</a> channel and simply post your AMA there.</div>
<div style="color: #432d2d; font-family: "Libre Franklin"; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.7;">
Before you do this, however, make sure you are familiar with how Reddit works. Also, have a day blocked out for the AMA. AMAs are read by people around the world, with questions flying in from around the globe. Make sure you have the time to reply to their questions!<br />

VHX is especially great for episodic content because it can manage branded subscription services, not just one-off films. You can set your own prices, offer rentals and purchases and even build coupon codes.

You can set your own prices and upload art according to their specifications to create beautiful-looking sales pages with trailers, synopses, stills, and more. Note that unlike some other platforms with Vimeo Pro you’ll need to pay a monthly fee whether or not you actually make any sales. On the flip side, however, you also get access to expanded Vimeo video hosting features like advanced branding of color-schemes of the video embeds on your website, expanded analytics, and more.</li>

<div style="color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px; margin-bottom: 1.78571em; margin-top: 0.714286em;">
Here are some additional tips to consider, regardless of what platform you choose to sell your films online with.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px; margin-bottom: 1.78571em; margin-top: 0.714286em;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;">Upload your trailer to YouTube –</span> Whether or not you’re hosting the film on YouTube, it’s worth uploading the trailer there and tagging it with lots of related tags and giving it a nice, long keyword-rich synopsis in the description area. You should also include a link in the description to where people can purchase/stream the full film. It’s also worth including a URL in the video itself as text on screen in case someone is watching it on a platform where they can’t see the description while they’re watching (like on a cell phone in full-screen mode or embedded in another website). Uploading your trailer to YouTube will make it much more findable.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px; margin-bottom: 1.78571em; margin-top: 0.714286em;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;">Market your film to an email list –</span> As you’re making your movie, keep a running list of email addresses from people who are interested in it that you interact with along the way. Send these people (along with crowd-funders or friends) regular updates on your progress as you go through the process. By the time your film is ready to be released online via streaming platforms, you may already have a built-in audience. On your website, you can also include an email signup list for people who come across your film’s website and are interested in watching it once it’s finished. Make sure you also capture people’s first names in addition to their email addresses (but don’t make the signup form too long or complicated because fewer people will fill it out!).</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px; margin-bottom: 1.78571em; margin-top: 0.714286em;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;">Make the option to purchase your film easy to find on your website(s) –</span> If you have an official film website, make sure it’s easy to find the page where people can buy the film. This means ideally putting it in the menu/navigation and also sprinkling links to it throughout the website on all sorts of other pages where it’s relevant. If you have other websites, like a professional website as a director, consider putting links to buy the film there too. Generally speaking, the more links there are to that purchase page, the better.</div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">There’s maybe no one more qualified to be leading the charge for independent filmmakers these days than Jim Cummings. Since we talked to him a year ago, he’s gone on to make his first feature, Thunder Road, and win the Grand Jury Prize at South By Southwest. <b>The film is currently sitting at 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s already generated $500,000 in ticket sales in France alone.</b> Maybe most notably, though, he and his crew made it on their own — no major studio, no executives, no distributors. It’s an independent film in the truest sense of the word. Let’s just say, he’s fired up about that:</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>“It’s all bullshit — all of this stuff that says in order to make a movie you need a million dollars, this union crew, all of that stuff. It’s all scare tactics to keep people out of the club,” he told us. “You just have to realize there is no club.</i>”</b></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">Thunder Road’s success as an independent film, though, isn’t dumb luck. It may have launched like a rocket during its premiere, but even rockets need guidance. It turns out Jim is not only a talented director and actor; he’s also a good marketer. He had a few things to say about how independent filmmakers are fully equipped to make their feature film right now, from getting a crew together and generating funding to self-distribution.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">We caught up with Jim to talk about what he’s been up to over the past year, which happens to be disrupting the film industry a bit. So, if you’re a filmmaker who’s ever dreamed of releasing a feature film, listen up. Jim just did and here’s what he has to tell you:</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Getting a Crew</b></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Where did you start after you had a script?</i></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">I spent six or seven months going to all of the people I thought would be helpful; people who had turned successful short films into successful features. I found that transition doesn’t exist as much anymore, with this convergence of everyone becoming their own movie studio. The democratization of digital distribution and just a number of things have contributed to the ladder not being sent back down from people are making short films.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<img height="265" src="https://musicbed-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/original/sRC0H-Jim-Cummings-II-2.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">It took me a while to get my bearings and a good friend of mine, Zach Parker, read the script and was a huge fan of the short film. He said, “I want to do the Linklater thing and go make five features in Austin.” And after reading the script, he said, “I want this to be the first one. Option it to me.” He’d never produced a feature before, but he was so determined.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<img height="265" src="https://musicbed-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/original/gKpAk-Jim-Cummings-II-1.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Was there some uncertainty there?</i></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">To be entirely honest, I was uncertain until we sat down for the second time. I’d been burnt before by people saying they’ll pay me to write a screenplay or whatever. I didn’t know what his intentions were. He and I went to a cafe because he was asking me to sign the contract for the option — it was for a dollar [laughs].</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">Then he started talking about Bruce Springsteen and what Thunder Road means — in terms of the script, not just the song. He said, “Thunder Road means how much you will do for your children; that’s what it’s about.” Just the way he said it, it was one of those moments you realize you totally get along with someone because you’re both accidentally crying in public, having to look away and pretend like you’re not noticing the other person crying. I left that meeting immediately thinking, This is the guy. He’s very adamant about it, just like me.</span></div>

It’s their talent and enthusiasm. Those are the only two hiring requirements. It doesn’t matter how long your <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7738450/" target="_blank">IMDB page is</a>. If this movie really means something to them, they’re hired. Everybody on set was like that. Everyone had lost somebody or wanted to make something about this character going through hell.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">Well, a big part of the film was us re-shooting the short film — and we shot it 18 times in one day. So, that humiliating dance and big performance, all that, people were seeing how much I was torturing myself.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">I started the first meeting at six in the morning and I hadn’t met a lot of the people on the crew. I stood up on a dolly and said, “Hey, I’m Jim. I’m the guy. I do the thing. This might be the most important thing I’ll ever do with my life. This movie’s about putting this character through hell. So, if there’s anything that comes up on set where you can make it more complicated for me to perform or more endearing for me to perform, let’s do it. Put me through hell for the next 14 days.”</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">From then on, everybody felt like they were part of something important. It really felt like that from everybody.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Finding Funding</b></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Were there some aspects of using Kickstarter that surprised you?</i></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">Yes. There were many unexpected things. We were able to raise $36,000 from <a href="http://kickstarter./">Kickstarter.</a> It was crazy.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">I’ve run probably four or five Kickstarter campaigns for other directors as a means of building an audience and engaging a community, but for this one, we had rewards for people who wanted to be associate producers and executive producers for higher donations. For associate producers, I think we said it was a $3,000 donation. That was a lot of money for me. I didn’t think that many people would become producers, but we had five or six come on and they were great.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">And it wasn’t just about associate producing. It became a film school for them because many of them hadn’t been on a feature set. Now they’re seeing they could do it themselves. A lot of these associate producers have said, “I’m going to do it myself. Jim did it; now I can do it.” It wasn’t just a means of financing the thing, it became this way for us to engage people and give them life affirmation or purpose. It was a phenomenal environment that we created because we gave them unprecedented access to a film.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>How did you generate the rest of your $190,000 budget?</i></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">About half of it was, very luckily, people who had seen the Kickstarter and said, “Hey, I saw this. This is a successful thing that’s happening.” I don’t think that would have happened if we hadn’t won Sundance with the short film. We had made nine other short films and put them on the Kickstarter page, too. So they were able to engage with 30 or 40 minutes of stuff we had made.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">But, I don’t know if I would do it again because crowd equity platforms are so incredibly useful. With a Kickstarter campaign, there’s no promise of returns; it’s just a donation and you may get some cool rewards. But with crowd equity, you’re buying points on the backend. So, with the next few projects, we are going to go through platforms like <a href="http://www.wefunder.com/" target="_blank">Wefunder</a>, where you’re able to sell percentages to people for very small amounts. That’s the dream for me, just using the internet like it’s a Patreon page.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">I think Kickstarter is incredible and I suggest that everybody use it to start out. We just ran a lab for filmmakers who are trying to turn their short films into features and basically my main advice was to run a Kickstarter the same day as your launch on <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/" target="_blank">Vimeo</a>. The first line of your description should be a link to your Kickstarter campaign.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">It started as a joke. Literally, we were walking down Sixth Street in Austin after winning South by Southwest and we were having conversations with distributors, these people whose only job it is to find culturally and socially significant movies and distribute them. They were saying stuff like, <b><i>“Yeah, you know, it’s great winning South by Southwest, but if you get into Cannes that’s an even bigger deal. So best of luck and let us know.”</i></b></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">It was just the rudest thing people had ever said to us. So, it started as a joke, where we said, “Somebody is going to say ‘fuck this’ and they’re going to win one of these big festivals and put it out themselves — change stuff.” I didn’t think it was going to be us at the time.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>We read two case studies. We read the <a href="https://www.sundance.org/case-studies/creative-distribution/columbus" target="_blank">Columbus case study from Sundance</a> about how they self-distributed. The movie cost $750,000 and they were able to recoup $650,000 of it in the first year and retain ownership. Then, I saw my buddy Joe Penna, who made a film that got a Cannes Official Selection this year. He’s a YouTuber who became an influencer, got this big following, and started making this short film. Now he can literally put it on YouTube and charge fans to watch it. I think this is the way of the future, where if you build your own fanbase, you don’t need anybody. It’s becoming democratized. Anybody can do this. There’s this ubiquitous misconception that self-distribution means you’re going to be selling DVD copies out of your car.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">I have a relatively small but thorough marketing background of how to market a feature film because I was a producer for eight years. I worked my ass off trying to get people to see movies that were less interesting than mine, so we had a few different strategies.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">We applied to the <a href="http://www.sundance.org/initiatives/creative-producing" target="_blank">Sundance Creative Distribution Fellowship</a> and got it. They gave us a grant of $33,000 to distribute, and with that money, we’ve been distributing the film through <a href="http://www.quiver.com/" target="_blank">Quiver </a>which is an aggregator for iTunes and Google Play, Netflix and all of that.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 90%; width: 600px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;">I edited the trailer myself and we reached out to <a href="https://aphextwin.warp.net/" target="_blank">Aphex Twin</a> to use his song in the trailer. Within three weeks of doing that the trailer was on Facebook and got 180,000 views. We’re also dropping some ad dollars on people who like King of the Hill and also Manchester by the Sea — also Danny McBride and Will Ferrell — because that’s the kind of impression the trailer gives off. We are using free platforms like Facebook, Vimeo, and YouTube to find an audience that way.</span></div>

I was pointing at the poster and it was this proud moment for me, you know, I’ve been dreaming of having my movie in a theater since I was 12. Well, 117,000 people upvoted it and I think we had a million views on the picture that day, then <a href="https://youtu.be/JTjYRFZOf4I" target="_blank">I posted the trailer the next day</a> and it got to the front page too. It was completely free and we got 250,000 people to see the trailer organically.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "calluna" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>It’s all bullshit — all of this stuff that says in order to make a movie you need a million dollars, this union crew, all of that stuff. It’s all scare tactics to keep people out of the club. You just have to realize there is no club. The only way the system has remained as predatory as it has it because they intimidate people. They make people feel like their movies aren’t going to be good enough if they do it themselves. It’s this weird cult and the termites have spread so far into the mind of independent filmmakers that there’s no encouragement to make independent films. It’s 2018. It’s a war of attention and you can make a better movie than the studios can.</b></span></div>

Among Italian and foreign press, the best reviewed film of the festival was <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Roma</em> (Alfonso Cuaron), followed by <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/sisters-brothers-review-1139240" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0074ae; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Sisters Brothers</em> </a>(Jacques Audiard) and <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/favourite-review-venice-2018-1138544" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0074ae; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Favourite</em></a> (Yorgos Lanthimos). <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Mountain</em> (Rick Alverson) received the lowest average reviewed score among critics.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Venice also held its second-ever VR jury this year, led by Susanne Bier. While other festivals are quickly establish VR competitions, Venice was one of the first to make a large investment into the medium, and the technology from the first year to the second is already progressing in leaps and bounds.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Best VR film, <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Spheres</em>, an experience that takes viewers into outer space to explore the sounds of the cosmos is the first VR film acquired at a festival in a seven-figure deal. “In Virtual Reality the possibilities of storytelling are infinite, like the darkest edges of the Universe,” <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Spheres</em> creator McNitt told <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">THR</em> after receiving her award. “This is just the beginning of the possibilities this new form of storytelling offers.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The world's oldest film fest concluded its 75th anniversary edition not without controversy.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After Cannes had shut out Netflix this year, Venice debuted a record six titles from the streamer, with three in the main competition and one in Horizons. Italian exhibitors were less than thrilled with the move, and the International Confederation of Art Cinemas (CICAE) issued a strongly worded letter to the festival to reserve competition slots for films that will be exhibited in cinemas internationally, rather than simultaneously released in 190 countries. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.95; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But the larger controversy was once again festival chief Alberto Barbera choosing only one film directed by a woman, <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Nightingale</em> by Jennifer Kent in competition, after being widely criticized last year for making the same decision. Barbera maintained that quality was his only factor in choosing films, but topic came up throughout the festival, including by del Toro and <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sisters Brothers</em> director Jacques Audiard who made pleas for diversity, and by media who questioned if there might be an unspoken bias in the way films were chosen this year.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Venice chiefs signed a festival charter for gender parity, but did so only after making a big show of saying that it was barely necessary as they already hire a majority of women and are open about their submissions and selection panels. They committed to holding a panel at the festival next year to analyze data, but doubled down on the idea that the problem lies more with problems of access to filmmakers, without addressing any kind of unconscious bias. Sexist incidents including a man wearing a <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/director-luciano-garagnani-wears-weinstein-is-innocent-t-shirt-at-venice-fest-1139242" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0074ae; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">"Weinstein is Innocent" </a>T-shirt being allowed to walk the <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Suspiria</em> red carpet for paparazzi and a blogger yelling misogynist obscenities during the a press screening of Kent's film did not help the festival making its case as a welcome ground for women. </span></div>

Peter Baxter cares about filmmakers, and with a do it yourself spirit he and his colleagues at <a href="http://www.slamdance.com/" rel="noopener" style="color: #a50034;" target="_blank">Slamdance</a> developed a workshop for students interested in careers as independent filmmakers. With 25 years of experience programming film festivals, Baxter, Slamdance’s co-founder, and president, offered his wisdom to the students of Dodge College this spring.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px;">
Consider these tips when preparing for your thesis film or as you work on your next indie project:</div>
<ul style="line-height: 24px;">
<li>Find a community. “Slamdance is an artist-led organization, ‘by filmmakers, for filmmakers,’ we like to say.” The support from peers and collaborators with a shared vision of success is essential to each project.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>(*Slamdance is one community. There are many film festivals out there (like the DIY Film Fest) that focus on do it yourself work. However, I think he means, find a community of "like minded artists" that can help you create your art, as well as you can contribute to theirs. Film schools are one way to do this, he's speaking at Chapman, others include LMU, USC, AFI, UCLA, NYU, COLUMBIA in NY and Chicago, etc). But that doesn't mean you have to attend - it's just that the local university is a resource and the students do look at craigslist ads for crew. THE DIY FILM FEST)</b></div>
<ul style="line-height: 24px;">
<li>“If you want to go out and do something, go out and do it. Don’t ask for permission.” As an independent filmmaker, you don’t need a studio’s say-so or a huge budget to get started. Make your film, your way.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>("Don't ask for permission" doesn't apply to film permits. If you shoot out on the street without getting a permit majorly bad things can (and do happen). What Baxter means here is "don't wait for a studio, actor or agent to give you permission." Go and make your film, plan ahead, be smart, protect your crew and actors while you're at it. (THE DIY FILM FEST)</b></div>
<ul style="line-height: 24px;">
<li>“Believe in yourself, don’t doubt your creativity. The successful storytellers we know have been able to empower themselves and those around them.”</li>
</ul>
<ul style="line-height: 24px;">
<li>“Embrace your failures and learn from them.” It is not the end of the world if your film isn’t a masterpiece, as long as you are able to move forward with an awareness of how to improve.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="line-height: 24px;">
<li>“As students, you have the luxury of time. For the best possible production, use that time to be prepared for all aspects of the filmmaking process.”</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>(He's speaking to film students who, by definition, are paying a ton of money to hear him speak in a film class. (Keeping it 100% here). But the point is well taken - preparation is the thing that can save you the most time, money and headaches. Whether you're in school or at work staring at the clock. Take the time to imagine all the problems that might go wrong, and always have a backup plan. THE DIY FILM FEST)</b></div>
<ul style="line-height: 24px;">
<li>“Think about the promotion of the film, even before you begin shooting.” Once a film is completed, the hard work continues as promotion begins. Be prepared with a budget and enough time allocated to promotion.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>(Good advice. We here at the DIY Film Fest recommend thinking of "who is your audience?" It used to be one could wander the aisles of Blockbuster and find "all the genres" of filmmaking. ("Horror," "Thriller" "Suspense," "Comedy" etc.) But even that paradigm has disappeared. Always good to show your film to a number of people - friends and strangers and get feedback and then... listen to it. If it's not working for them, it won't work for other strangers. But if it is working for them, you're audience can and will find you. THE DIY FILM FEST)</b></div>
<ul style="line-height: 24px;">
<li>“Take care of your team.” Do not underestimate the importance of food and water on your production.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>(Sounds silly, but is true. FEED THE CREW and they will feed you. Make sure you have plenty of water and snacks or healthy food - and they will go out of their way to help you. Try to follow the rules under SAG (time to eat, meals every 6 hours, no more than 8-10 hours of production and make sure everyone has 12 hours of sleep to restore and come back. If you kill your crew (hopefully neither literally or figuratively) not many folks will work long hours for little play. THE DIY FILM FEST)</b></div>
<ul style="line-height: 24px;">
<li>“Protect your creation. Copyright both your written work and your moving image work.”</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>(Also - get permission. Get your actors or anyone who is going to appear on camera to sign a waiver so that you can use the footage. If you don't do that you'll have headaches later if you try to sell it to a third party - they won't purchase your work without proper permits. You can find a standard waiver online - but have them sign it. Very important. Copyright - as soon as you put it into a form - film or script, there's an implied copyright contract, but once you're done with the film, take the time to copyright it at copyright.gov. THE DIY FILM FEST)</b></div>
<ul style="line-height: 24px;">
<li>“Have a plan of first, second, and third choices of film festivals to submit to, before making your film. Target the festivals you believe your film will find an audience.” *Pro tip – before you submit, give the festival a call for more info on their program and if your film would be a good fit.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>(We at the DIY FILM FEST have gone to an online model - because many of our filmmakers are from other countries. It's not fair for them to travel all the way to LA when we can promote and talk about their work and who they are online. But he's right - if you can afford to go to Slamdance, Sundance, Toronto, Cannes, Venice - and your film gets in, you'd be crazy not to go. THE DIY FILM FEST)</b></div>
<ul style="line-height: 24px;">
<li>“Always be open to the possibilities of working in any form of moving image. Feature length, television, web series, or streaming. Do not be closed off to any of these mediums.”</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>(We once heard a director say "If you're going to be a director, direct. Don't think about the medium. Think about the practice. It's true as well - but don't be afraid of however you want to express yourself. Just make sure you run it by an audience to see how people react. There's no excuse for sloppy or bad lighting or sound or editing - but if it helps tell the story - or the story is so compelling people aren't focused on the delivery, then by all means. THE DIY FILM FEST)</b></div>
<ul style="line-height: 24px;">
<li>“Always have your next project, not only in mind but organized. Be thinking practically how to continue working with your support team.”</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>(This brings to mind other maxims - if you plan on having a career, and you want to begin by making a short film,work in the genre that you think people will hire you in. If you're a funny person, then perhaps that's your best genre. If you're a person who loves horror or thrillers, focus on those kinds of stories. And if you have a short film in that vein, try to have a script (feature length) that will be your next work. So if someone really likes your short or feature, and they say "Do you have anything we can look at?" ... you do. *THE SIDE COMMENTS ARE FROM THE DIY FILM FEST.)</b></div>

<div style="line-height: 24px;">
<i>(THANKS to our friends at Chapman University, LA for posting this.)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>WE AT THE DIY FILM FESTIVAL WOULD ADD:</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>1. Build an online presence. If people can look for your film and your name on line, it should be your design that they find. Take the time to build a website to highlight your work.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>2. Focus on story telling. Every story has three acts - beginning, middle and an end. You don't have the follow the "save the cat" formula,or even Aristotle's "Poetics" - but both are key to understanding story telling. "Conflict is the essence of drama" has been true since Aristotle first said it. (And even then, he may have borrowed it.)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>3. Previews count. And by previews, we're saying it again - show your film to your friends, show your film to your acquantances, show your film to strangers. Listen to what they have to say. You don't have to many ANY changes - but if everyone says "I don't like the guy" or "I was confused" that means these are issues that must be addressed. Trick is to find friends who will watch it a second time.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>4. Content is more important than delivery. Even if something is not perfectly lit, there's not perfect sound, or its slightly out of focus - if you are telling a story that is full of passion, then the passion translates. Some people can't get past mistakes - but if your heart is in it, they will. Find the story that moves you to tears, that moves you to laughter, that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up ... and tell that story. (THE DIY FILM FEST)</i></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shot in Nepal by first time Director Animesh Sapkota, this film is reminsicent of the visual imagery of Satijyat Ray, Fellini or Terrence Malick in its stark use of unusual faces, vistas with little or no dialog. The pacing lulls the viewer into a world where poetry of light and image become more important than what is said.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The U.S. Documentary jury honored Alexandria Bombach with the directing prize for “On Her Shoulders,” a portrait of ISIS survivor Nadia Mura</b>d. The judges also announced four special jury awards: to “Crime + Punishment,” “Hale County This Morning, This Evening,” “Minding the Gap” and “Three Identical Strangers...”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The U.S. Documentary audience prize went to “The Sentence,” inspiring director Rudy Valdez to profess, </span><b style="font-size: x-large;">“All my life, I felt like I didn’t have a voice. I felt like my community was under-served. I kept waiting for somebody to help us, [for] somebody to step up to the plate. … I decided I wasn’t going to wait any longer for somebody to give me a voice.”</b></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the World Cinema dramatic competition, the grand jury prize went to “Butterflies,” a family-centric drama from Turkish director Tolga Karaçelik (whose “Ivy” competed at Sundance three years ago), while Iceland’s Ísold Uggadóttir earned directing honors for “And Breathe Normally.” The audience prize went to “The Guilty.” Danish director Gustav Möller accepted the award, saying, “<b>The idea of the film is that it would be created by the audience … so it’s very special to get the award from the audience.”</b></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The World Cinema documentary grand jury prize went to “Of Fathers and Sons,” Talal Derki’s two-year portrait of the pressures facing children growing up in a radical Islamist family. Directing honors went to Sandi Tan for “Shirkers,” while the audience voted for “This Is Home,” about four Syrian refugee families adjusting to life in Baltimore.</b></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ethan Hawke presented the NEXT Audience Award to Aneesh Chaganty’s <b>“Search.” The film, which takes place entirely on computer screens, stars John Cho as a father searching for clues to his missing daughter’s disappearance via social media.</b></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The category’s new NEXT Innovator Award was selected by RuPaul, who — as the prize’s first-ever judge — confessed, “We have a tie. I fought long and hard with myself over this,” before presenting to both Jordana Spiro’s “Night Comes On” and Jeremiah Zagar’s “We the Animals.”</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Earlier this week, <span class="st" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Chaganty</span>’s “Search” received the $20,000 Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize, presented annually to a film that focuses on science or technology as a theme.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Also previously announced, “His House” director Remi Weekes won the Sundance Institute NHK Award; the Sundance Institute/Amazon Studios Producers Awards went to Katy Chevingy & Marilyn Ness (producers of “Dark Money”) and Sev Ohanian for “Search”; and Sundance Institute Open Borders Fellowship winners were Derki (“Of Fathers and Sons”), Chaitanya Tamhane (for her still-untitled feature) and Tatiana Huezo (“Night on Fire”).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The past couple months of entertainment news have not been the cheeriest, to say the least. But as the necessary work of righting longstanding injustices continues, the importance of elevating <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none !important;">new and</em> <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none !important;">diverse </em>voices inside the film industry remains. And while awards shows may seem like small potatoes in the face of larger global events, the fact remains: championing creative independence and supporting a diverse community of unique, innovative artists remains vitally important—sowing the seeds via pop culture of a better, more equitable future.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of the biggest questions we get at the DIY Film Fest is<b><i> "How can I get my film distributed?"</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Believing in the do it yourself philosophy, doesn't mean that you can't make a living doing it yourself. And part of making a living is making sure that your film gets in front of your audience.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5mAsQ81OtmVYSuRxLoX-OPDiL48RjFZAMh1E4Kq1EmGuVe9HCIXN60_VDz_djoNuYRZL7RAOxs8MqXh4tngTTw2yynIPpIideAB0zX2l9NqkOeTf4Qa5BrJWQxXU7tb7i2ZyMAmeUyU3K/s1600/xin_53050422135083627681.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="329" data-original-width="450" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5mAsQ81OtmVYSuRxLoX-OPDiL48RjFZAMh1E4Kq1EmGuVe9HCIXN60_VDz_djoNuYRZL7RAOxs8MqXh4tngTTw2yynIPpIideAB0zX2l9NqkOeTf4Qa5BrJWQxXU7tb7i2ZyMAmeUyU3K/s400/xin_53050422135083627681.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">But here are a few tried and true methods of self distribution.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">1. <b>Use a distribution platform to sell your film. </b> At the DIY Film Fest we're happy to be sponsored by FilmHub (formerly <b><i>Kinonation)</i></b> a successful digital film distribution company. The process is fairly simple; once you've finished your film and are looking for distribution, you sign up with their film company at <a href="http://filmhub.com/" target="_blank">Film Hub</a> and follow their instructions on how to upload your film. They do the rest.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">(One of the perks of our film festival is that the winners of each category are invited to distribute their film through FilmHub to their various entities that they sell the film through (saving the filmmaker the time and effort to try and contact each of those companies individually).</span><br />

They insist that films a subtitle track so that they can have them subtitle (or use one of their subtitling bots) but it's a way of offering a film worldwide. They have a minimum for how much it costs to view the film, and generally they set the film's price. But it's a way of submitting your film for direct distribution. (The amount of money your receive would be higher than going through an aggregator like Film Hub, but again, it might be easier to have one entity distribute it across all platforms.)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The second most important item to focus on in your search for DIY distribution, i<b>s marketing and promotion</b>. If you can afford a promoter or marketer that you trust, that's the easiest way to go, as they will know the ins and outs of the marekt you're trying to crack. <b>But if you want to be a DIY promotion and marketing exec yourself - then the best way to do that is to research the field.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Look up other films that you might have paid attention to, or that you think are similar to yours. See what kinds of methods others have used in social media. <b>We assume that by the time you're going into distribution, you've already exhausted the film festival route, but perhaps your title is so unique that it needs to be seen directly by the audience its intended for.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Find out where that audience is. Is it online? Is it part of a community? Is it something that you could advertise in a college newspaper, or in some other outlet that reaches your target audience? <b> (One filmmaker we know said "Most of my titles only play in prison, so it's hard to market that audience. But I'm happy to know that they're trapped somewhere being forced to watch it." We hope he was kidding.)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We live in a world where you can sell directly to your audience - you can market things directly to those people who would like to see them. <b>It's a matter of figuring out where your audience might be, and how to reach them. </b> It's best done in the hands of professionals, but if you're not financially able to reach out to those individuals, then the only thing you must rely on in your own intuition and ability to wave the flag for your film.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Alan Parker tired of trying to get his films made. This is an award winning director who just got sick and tired of waiting for his calls to be answered or the phone to ring. </span><b style="font-size: x-large;"><i>So he went back to art school.</i></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He'd already achieved the pinnacle of his career in the film business. But wasn't being creatively fulfilled. He got tired of "playing the game." <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/jan/15/alan-parker-interview-film-lost-its-lustre-solace-in-art-bugsy-malone-commitments" target="_blank">So he shifted gears.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After all, you can't keep filming up until your last day on the planet - although it seems as if that might be the case - but in general, there's a reason you want to keep creating, keep working at your creativity.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>And in this case, the filmmaker learned how to silk screen.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And now his works are being exhibited in the best galleries in London. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/jan/15/alan-parker-interview-film-lost-its-lustre-solace-in-art-bugsy-malone-commitments" target="_blank">He's that good at this new direction in his career.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">If you think of film as an end in itself, once you get to the film, you're at the end.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>If you think of film as an outlet for your creativity - then you're always at the beginning.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So pick up a camera, point it in a direction, see what moves you. If you feel moved to document a story of someone you know and love, do that. If you feel the desire to document a story about someone or something that bothers you, do that as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In Sir Alan Parker's case, he grew tired of the process, but retained his passion for story telling. Nowadays, that translates into "picking up a camera and telling a story about someone or something that moves you."</span><br />

Not mainstream. But mindstream. It moved him, so it was worth his time and effort.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was just Sydney and a tiny crew filming people he knew. He didn't make it for money. He made it for fun.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">You just never know what the end game is going to be, so <b><i>follow whatever moves you.</i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you feel the need to show a story that moves you, knowing that it will move others, do that. Ask for help from your friends, colleagues, from your teachers. The whole planet is your backdrop. The theater is right in front of you.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE FINALISTS!</span></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This year, our 14th year as a festival, we've made the decision to go entirely online with submissions and honoring the filmmakers. In lieu of a year-end-party that was difficult, if not impossible to gather filmmakers from across the globe, all winning entries will be featured online, and if possible, <b>the trailer or winning films itself</b> <i>(if the filmmaker desires) will be posted.</i> We will also explore the story of how their winning film came into being. <i>(Their "acceptance speech" will be excerpted in the online description of the films.) </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We will be asking winning filmmakers <i>who</i> should be thanked in public, but also the story of<i> how their film came into being</i> - as sometimes that story can be as fascinating as the film itself. By having the filmmakers share their story - the way they would at any podium - gives everyone a chance to experience and share in the thanks and credit of those who helped make the film. It's an unusual solution to the age old question of how to honor do-it-yourself filmmakers in a do-it-yourself fashion. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prize winners will be announced soon or by the end of the month. Their individual replies (acceptance speeches/stories) will be edited and posted along with the results as well.</b><i> (Depending on the editing process).</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As in previous fests, the <b>prize winners will be awarded editing software </b>from <b><a href="http://www.pinnaclesys.com/en/" target="_blank">Pinnacle Editing Systems</a></b> (an excellent beginning editing software that is easy to use, and if the filmmakers want to donate their software to a school or another filmmaker, they have the option to do so). <i>(As noted below, Pinnacle is not a "sponsor" of the festival, and is not involved with the choice of finalists. However, they generously donate their software for us to distribute to the winning entries.) </i><b>All Winning films are eligible for distribution</b> through our sponsor <a href="http://kinonation.com/" target="_blank">KinoNation</a> and <b>all winning films will receive a suitable-for-framing winner's certificate.</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Again, thanks for submitting to the festival, and we wish you the best of luck with your film and your career. If you're film didn't make the finalists, it's likely because of the crowded entry in its field, but there are many outlets, many festivals, and we encourage filmmakers to seek them out as well. <b>We encourage everyone to take up their camera and begin to document/tell a story that moves you, that comes from the heart, that can move other hearts and minds as well.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The film has already <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4975722/awards?ref_=tt_awd" target="_blank">won many awards</a>, aside from Best Picture at the Oscars. The co-writer Tarell Alvin McCraney is a playwright, whose work has been <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4144120/otherworks?ref_=nm_pdt_wrk_sm" target="_blank">onstage in Chicago </a>and is also Winner of a 2013 MacArthur Foundation Fellowship.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's an excellent interview by Terry Gross and "Fresh Air" where they talk about the genesis of this film, and <a href="http://www.npr.org/2016/10/19/498395257/for-films-creators-moonlight-provided-space-to-explore-a-painful-past" target="_blank">how it came into existence</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's 40 minutes, and if you're curious as to how someone goes from telling a true life story to winning the Oscar, it's worth a listen.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Congratulations to Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney and all those who worked on this low budget film for bringing this story to the screen!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The point of this festival is to honor those who feel compelled to pick up a camera and tell a story. There is a place in the vast market of filmmaking to speak your voice, to tell your story. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just because we love Cody and his film, here it is again.... <i>something to aim for when we pick up our cameras..</i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">People don't always pick up a paintbrush to pay the rent, but sometimes when they create something memorable, it turns out to be the thing that does pay the rent. But the act of art is an act of creativity, and we celebrate everyone who picks up a camera and records part of their life.</span><br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;"><i>DIY Filmmakers; we honor you! </i></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you've submitted a film that didn't make the deadline, it will be considered in next year's festival. Stay tuned for the finalists which will be posted here as soon as possible...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And finally, from a couple of years ago, here's the film that won for best documentary. It was shot in Syria in the midst of the ongoing war. <b>We have no idea if these filmmakers have become refugees,</b> or were able to find their way out of this mess, but we applaud them for documenting the world around them....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once again, "Not Anymore, A Story of Revolution" 2014 winner by Matthew VanDyke .... Winning Entry for Best Documentary.</span><br />
