Thank you.

[@TimHarkness]

When a streaming service says “no thanks”, sometimes it can be because they just bought another film that was very similar, or they are currently making their own content with a similar story line. Or even, that particular month, they are focused on only buying Christmas themed movies, or only comedies, or only horrors etc. My film was submitted to a distributor and nothing happened for 6 months. Then suddenly they wanted the rights to pitch it urgently. And within a few months was on 30 streaming services worldwide. I guess we just had to wait until the streaming services were after that particular type of content.

Congratulations Tim. Great job. So patient. And you're very appreciative, as I would be. I have friends I have helped with Warner bros Studio where we worked for many years and I never got ONE Thank you. I'm serious. Sad business sometimes. Ruthless. I am happy for you. James

[@James_Bowie]

Jeff Deverett is the real deal. Take good notice of his wisdom.

[@LeftWristScope]

I rather take the independent route. If these companies want in, then they'll contact me. Same with the music industry, build your own leverage.

[@yougottrolled5799]

Exactly 💯💯

[@dobsashimself]

Most times, building your leverage might take years ...a lot of people don't have that patience

[@yougottrolled5799]

@@dobsashimself that's, true but most times while you out there working hard you also gotta work smart, comics for example image invincible happen multiple comics before it got picked up by HBO, and had leverage, while idw tried to chase Hollywood and now ran themselves into the ground.

[@LeftWristScope]

@@dobsashimself it's either build leverage or kiss up to the distributors. The music industry is the same way.

[@dobsashimself]

@@LeftWristScope it's relatively easier to build leverage in the music industry

I'm exploring the viability of building an alternative to Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, etc., one built on an entirely new model that would give writers and creators more say. I'm not entire certain it would pan out, and it's going to require a sh!t ton of work (and cash), but if it were easy........ Anyway, wish me luck

[@sbojan83]

Good luck!

[@juandager5220]

I've thought a lot about this... You need either a lot of money to hire tech people or you need to become a good software developer. Also, your business model must be unique, different, and better. Financially sustainable too. Can you update us on your progress?

[@davidmakesawesomefilms]

As a young filmmaker, I would also love to be a part of this if you ever get to start one. Willing to work for free until things are great lol (so we can save up on cash)!

[@juandager5220]

@@davidmakesawesomefilms Have you read "No Rules Rules"? Netflix started mailing DVDs through the Post Office. The Netflix CEO met with Blockbuster in the early 00s. Netflix offered a merger and to manage the BB website... And they laughed at them! A few months later, Netflix was the biggest streaming service in the world while Blockbuster crumbled. So it's totally possible to have a film/tech startup. But 90% of the success depends on the initial 5 or 10 founders.

[@davidmakesawesomefilms]

@@juandager5220 yeah the first founders will make or break a start-up

[@yungtago]

Netflix movie coming soon 🙏🏾

[@filmcourage]

Keep it up Tago!

👍👍👍

[@Thenoobestgirl]

Nice! 😄 Title?

[@whothetechknows]

Great interview. I learn a lot from these stories. Thanks for making them!

[@TheSecurityAgency]

He's a part of the Netflix framework, and to understand why the world lost great movies for good, all those little details are very important indeed.

[@filmcourage]

What are your thoughts on this video?

[@cstv-thirdsideofthecoin3189]

I’ve learned a lot

[@mr.b6789]

Very useful information, thx 👍

[@AKen_Films]

The movie he produced or is most likely referring to is 'Kiss and Cry' (2017) It's a romance about a girl who's figure skating and singing career is halted after she gets cancer. It's not exactly a preppy fun High School Musical-esque Disney flick and probably is better as a Hallmark channel drama. Still not bad film by any means. It's on Netflix though.

[@mr.b6789]

Yeah, he could have mentioned the dark side of his Disney story.. Maybe he really doesn't see it?

[@blue-ba2363]

@@mr.b6789 Or maybe they changed the whole story into something more dark after disney rejected

excuses! 👏 excuses! 👏 excuses! 👏 (and not even good ones!)

[@SantaPorter]

After some of the stuff I've seen on there it cannot be difficult

[@srksharma8199]

I guess you need good connections to get to make such shitty films. If you don't have any connections your movie better be good

[@julers1000]

Loved the videos. Extremely informative! Thank you!!

[@brooklynbrownen7326]

I wrote a sitcom finish the pilot do I finish writing the hold season or should I try to pitch the pilot 🤔

[@philyeary8809]

How do you get them to pay for a script they stole?

[@zubyyynaijaaa2677]

bro Wassup 😂

[@dragunov815]

Intriguing perspective.

[@heatherheadley1704]

I so love this!!!

[@terrencekramer]

This just basically explains how you will never get a movie on Netflix

[@zubyyynaijaaa2677]

LITERALLY

[@sunlightpictures8367]

Great interview.

[@leonoradompor8706]

I am the author of Jainy Bond 007,my simple production **** Who will buy this title Jainy Bond 007 ?

[@jameshall8455]

If you do not know anyone at Netflix and other Streaming services how do you possibly get that FIRST INTERVIEW? MY goodness. I wrote a script with Rambaldi family help, yes, ET, King Kong, and have a wonderful Faith Based screenplay everyone who knows about wishes would be FILMED. I'd film it myself and have connections through Warner Bros Studio but, THEN WHAT? lol

[@ve4mm]

Smart guy!

[@yougottrolled5799]

11:00 same brotha Everytime I get something like from a company I hear bullshit

[@intraocellus]

by selling it

[@AndreaClinton]

Why do i feel like i saw this? Is this repurposed?

[@gorequillnachovidal]

1) make sure you have the right racial and sexual orientation quota

[@aphr0d]

The sexual orientation one is the biggest culprit

[@zubyyynaijaaa2677]

LMAO

[@gustavoduran7077]

How? Easy. The story has to be antichristian.

[@chuzzbot]

So? Should someone care?

[@grungyasscinema]
