ABSTRACT

Many filmmakers are more than happy to immediately post their original work to the World Wide Web. The exposure they get on the Web can be far better than any other approach. Film festivals are another means of exposure. European festivals tend not to have fees, but festivals in the United States usually do. The bottom line is that the filmmakers can do whatever they can to help their film find an audience, and sometimes that approach takes unexpected turns and direction. It has become more critical these days to document each frame-by-frame project produced. Many young filmmakers are keeping blogs that record their progress on a frame-by-frame production. This allows people who might be vested in their project through fund-raising programs like Kickstarter or Indiegogo to follow the progress of their film and stay involved. It builds a great relation between the investor and production group.
