3 Things Writers And Filmmakers Should Know About Selling A Movie - Rachel K. Ofori

[@ShazammtheProducer]

I could watch and listen to this woman for days her energy is amazing

[@FlavioDeFeo]

Shazamm the iPad Producer I didn’t know who she was, so I was pleasantly surprised I agree with you 100%!

[@rachelk5798]

Aw thanks! I can't listen to myself for more than 5 minutes (ha!) so very grateful some of this was useful.

[@traviswright-playwright8240]

@@rachelk5798 Question, I'm new in making films do you - consult, mentor, one on one or host workshops etc

[@HolisticManifesting]

I love her delivery, very clear, passionate, and concise. ❤

[@Whitefoxmedia1]

This is encouraging for a new script writer!;)

[@MelaninMonarchy]

Wow, Ms. Ofori was really refreshing. I loved her transparency, and I loved the question about Old Hollywood vs today's 'exposed' Hollywood. It reiterated how important your 'why' is behind every project. This interview has something for Directors, Producers, Writers and Actors. Great Job.

[@FlavioDeFeo]

PeteMacDetroit 100% agree with you! Honesty truly is refreshing!

[@rachelk5798]

Wow, Thank you sir

[@leonab545]

Incredibly informative. Thank you.

[@southlondon86]

Excellent interview. She is very intelligent and insightful.

[@FlavioDeFeo]

southlondon86 100% agree. Awesome video.

[@notionpromotions]

Great interview. It definitely is a different time for film and media. This is the time to keep up with the times for sure

[@FlavioDeFeo]

Haywiz Productions yup, especially as things keep moving so fast, one better adapts quickly!

[@ianbuchanan3839]

It's these kinds of videos that I find most useful. Great job!

[@JonathanEBoyd]

Very interesting interview as always I think the big take away is to look at the big picture

[@ΑγγελοςΚουρματζης]

Great interview and maybe it's just me but, what are the 3 things again?

[@vroomvroom22]

Insightful

[@rickahshadeentertainment2218]

Good information, thanks

[@Darfaultner]

She should be a writer. Did you notice the way she set up the a-ha moment in her explanation? And that was just off the top of her head. Actually, why would you want to read what she has to say when you can watch her say it. Just marry me, lol. I suppose what I am saying is that I approve of this interview and this lady. Goobye

[@colegreenofficial]

America's Sweethearts are over exposed on social media. Great point.

[@AhmedHassan-eu3zm]

I don't know what it is exactly about Rachel that I find amazing lol. Like you must be a very likable person. I appreciate the advice/reality check, the optimism, the details within the business, everything! Thank you guys, I'm gonna go watch "What Death Leaves Behind" now 🍿😂

[@jdovma1]

Stars don't sell tickets the way they used to. Obviously if you're making films on smaller level, having a household name is a way to make sure your film gets some eyes on it it otherwise would not, but studios have moved on from betting on films just because there's a star in the lead role. Sure, they still cast known actors, but the point is that the hook for the films are not the star power the way it was up until about 10 years ago where Will Smith and Arnold Schwartzenegger could make a tub of piss make money. Now studios bet on intellectual properties with built-in audiences. They can budget around the expected viewership that they know will come out for the particular property and there's almost no risk.

[@prplfleur]

Not sure why this channel is getting so few views. Is it because they post videos so frequently that it is overwhelming to their subscribers? I'm never skipping ads on this channel cause I want y'all to get the ad revenue you deserve.

[@FlavioDeFeo]

Neil Carriel I think it all boils down to title and thumbnails... compared to other channels, they keep things simple and honest, instead of resorting to sensational (clickbait) titles and flashy over saturated thumbnails 🤷🏻‍♂️ but I’m just guessing

[@ivansosa3218]

I thought the same at some point, but then I realised that it's much better that way, 'cause that means that there aren't many people getting these pieces of advice - and that means less competence in a way.

Rachel just nails it! Cheers Film Courage!!

Thankyou, this video helps me to understand the marketplace and how I might approach my story in terms of casting and playing as an ensemble

@@FlavioDeFeo that's worth a million bucks, thankyou Flavio

[@ActronJimmy]

Love her awareness and ability to put that awareness into easily understandable rhetoric. Awareness is key. What's going on in the world and how do you capture that and create something from that.

[@StoryToGo]

For me filmmaking is a craft of love and passion, and as such I look for different ways of producing those crafts of love and passion. If there were not other filmmakers and writers like me, then many meaningful projects would not get made, as let's face it there are many distributed and financed films that lack a lot of substance. Financing and 'stars' do not equate to a good or a powerful film.

[@FlavioDeFeo]

StoryToGo I always love hearing or reading other filmmakers perspectives! I agree with your comment 100% 👍🏻

[@StoryToGo]

@Flavio De Feo It takes all kinds of visions, perspectives, and motivations to create movies. I am glad there are those who are driven by a passion to tell and share a story.

[@StoryToGo]

NRG 73 not pretentious, rather just pointing out that there are other driving forces to making a film then the almighty dollar and distribution deals. And gatekeepers don’t decide quality or the power of a story. You just need to have a look around this platform to discover examples of that.

[@Thisiscinemalist]

And I wish, every producer in the world was as passionate about films as she is.. 🥺

[@Thisiscinemalist]

I can see that Rachel can be an amazing actor. 🤩

[@theeladyj]

The film makers maybe the new “ celebrities” there is an exclusivity to being behind the scenes and telling the story

[@justayoutuber1906]

Funny how she list the way to sell a movie is to have a great marketing team that connects with audiences. How about a GREAT story with great writing? Sad that the quality of the story is seen as way down the list.

[@HolisticManifesting]

Because it's entertainment, it ranks low on the list in people's daily lives, therefore getting their attention becomes key, I can see this from both sides.

[@JOAOAUGUSTODIASABREU]

A the beginning of the interview she was clearly exposing the differences of today's process, but mid towards the end of this interview she was all over the place, for instance, about what are those key points all about (?)... Errrrr...I end up landing exactly where I started...

[@rachelk5798]

Agreed, I think this was well into the interview and I wasn't even thinking about the question but just discussing the subject matter with the awesome interviewer Karen. Didn't have an organized train of thought was just communicating impromptu thoughts about the subject matter.

[@HolisticManifesting]

​@@rachelk5798 Very passionate and clear. Thank you!
