And you were correct!

Glad you found it worthwhile! Can you tell me how you "found" the movie here on YT?

My last movie search term was "horror movies." Unfortunately, I don't recall if Bad Bones showed up directly in those search results or if it was related to something else that did. Sorry I can't be more specific.

What is the name of the movie then?

Not your first time? What makes it work for you?

Of course! What do you want to know?

Thanks! (1) Now that a long time has passed, do you plan to do it again with your next feature? (2) Were you able to recover your production costs beyond the $600 you refer to in your video? (3) Did releasing on KZbin meet the expectations you set for yourself when you started the channel? (4) Is this a valid business/distribution model for independent filmmakers?

@@tcriti (1) I would absolutely do it again, but would probably insert more commercials. Filmhub forces you insert ad breaks, which run about ever ten minutes and is where other platforms using commercials (such as Tubi) put their spots. I would also NOT have any swearing in a KZbin version, since the platform asks about this when you upload. There's a good chance the algorithm limits exposure because of this. (2) The movie has made around $7500 (mostly from Tubi), which has not eclipsed the budget. What does this mean for the next project? Crowdfund to get the next budget, so I'm not losing the money I or my partners are investing, and market smarter to have a better return. My frugal budgets are at about $10k, which should not be that hard to make back. I just need to make a more unique product than a genre fan would typically find and spend my ad dollars where they really count. It's a tough code to crack for us microbudgeters, but still think it's doable. But competition for eyeballs is fierce these days. (3) Unfortunately, I hit burnout and life which drastically reduced my activity on the channel before the feature hit. Had it come out in my heyday, I'm confident it would have done better on KZbin and possibly elsewhere. As it stands, this setback only effects the KZbin ecosystem. The other ones I've made money on (Tubi and Amazon) are their own animal and probably would not have been affected all that much. (4) It is a valid model if you can keep your costs as low as possible and utilize other means of distribution, like Filmhub. In other words, don't put all your eggs in one basket. The beauty of Filmhub is it's non-exclusivity. Traditional distros will lock up your movie and you are completely beholden to them. Filmhub and Indie Rights are way more open ended and allow you to try any and every way of getting your movie out there. You still have to do all the marketing, but that holds true with any distribution method. Trad distribution can still work, but again, you have way more control with this method. Which one works the best? Only the multiverse knows for sure.

@@frugalfilmmaker Thank you so much for sharing this!

Nice!
