Have you ever looked at films getting made and thought, "What do they know that I don't?"​

​

You’re not alone, many of us have been there. But after years in the indie film world, I've seen what actually works. The filmmakers who get their projects off the ground aren't waiting for permission or perfect conditions - they're using proven strategies to fund their films, attract talent, and build audiences that care about their work.

​

I've worked with and interviewed producers, directors, writers, financiers, and distributors to pull the best information together that many others have used to get their micro budget films off the ground. There's no secret sauce but there are recipes you can use to make it all happen.

That's why I created Make It Now Filmmaking. It combines the best practices I've seen work time and time again in the indie film world as well as taking in new models that are popping up.

To be a successful creator, you don't need millions. You don't need millions of dollars or customers, clients, or fans. To make a living as a craftsperson, photographer, musician, designer, author, animator, app maker, entrepreneur, or inventor, you need only thousands of true fans.

This module explores multiple paths to getting your film seen - from arranging local cinema screenings to touring your film like a band, from online platforms to traditional distribution companies.

 

You'll discover how to evaluate which distribution approach best serves your specific film and goals. While some methods may feel more traditional, the key is that you remain in control of your film's journey to its audience. For micro-budget films, this direct approach to distribution often leads to better results than waiting for traditional distributors to find you.

Learning how to generate sustainable income is crucial for filmmakers, and this module explores diverse revenue streams that go beyond traditional film profits.

The focus is on building a sustainable filmmaker's lifestyle by combining various revenue models. Rather than relying on a single big payday, you'll discover how different income streams can work together to create a living wage. This practical approach is especially valuable for micro-budget filmmakers who need to think creatively about monetization.
