[@grandmapurple55purple82]

[@m.bwells2736]

Can’t see why some of y’all hating on him. Met him way back at his Mighty wing spot, he a solid down to earth dude. He was gone invest in my phone repair biz when I was younger, I didn’t take it seriously. Keep doing you thang D 💪🏽💪🏽🍾

[@AllanaDeNai]

Great interview! My film is being distributed through Homestead! Never knew Dennis was associated with them!

[@quinceybennett3038]

Dennis Reed II is the truth and I respect the hell out of his work... great interview.

[@FuzzySoulTiger]

This was a pretty solid interview. Thank you for sharing so much good info. I've got 2 - 3 short films I'm gonna get back to working on

[@yomanitsstuff]

Waste of time

[@wdb_hb]

@@yomanitsstuffshort films are good, they can be turned in feature films by the studios like many popular horror films

[@CiseEntertainment]

Dope episode, We're shooting our first short film and the feeling is amazing!

[@Jazzysafterhourspodcast]

Love this episode. I subscribed 😊

[@DJBFilmz]

God! This was such an insightful interview. Thanks for doing it!

[@DMac-wy4jd]

I needed to hear this.

[@bscarsoriginalseries]

Salute Dennis. He is a legend. Excellent interview!

[@boodang100]

Great interview very informative

[@tinabonita1427]

Dennis makes Tubi his writing is amazing

[@Cam-v8m]

Tubi pays 6 to 10 cents per impression (commercial) it takes approximately 1 million impressions to make 10K. To make 200K which is rare you need around 30 million impressions. It’s extremely difficult to make a million dollars off 10 movies or even 20 movies on tubi, the cost to produce a micro budget film is 50K to 100K. Difficult business on any level.

[@BDoughly]

Somebody lied to you lol

[@Cam-v8m]

@@BDoughly I have the quarterly statements with the payouts

[@BDoughly]

@@Cam-v8m nobody must be watching your film. payment not fixed, it varies. the more popular your film is the more you get payed. I'll give a try tho. whats the title?

[@trevorblanks7766]

Check my film out on tubi Expect the Unexpected

[@BloodPatriotNews]

Lies! You slow asf! Lol! Black movies cost around 5K and they make profit! Thats why everyone wants black films and that’s why indie movies are taking over! Learn the game or get left behind!

[@nochaser7826]

[@lindapearson2815]

I love Dennis Reed ll❤ The movie Don't look back, Is everything so many Twist & Turns ,suspense....❤ Love it... You are the best.,I love the way you think......

[@GG-ev2ez]

30:00 I didn't realize Netflix would even consider a low budget film with no names. I guess they have some but they're buried and the filmmakers got screwed financially, lost their rights too.

[@matthewprince9705]

I can't receive Tubi in the UK. Most Tubi movies pop up on torrents.

[@usersangsa]

Whats the best distribution company for streaming services?

[@natalieldarden]

Nice to hear about our people thriving and promoting the entrepreneurial spirit! 👍🏿

[@RizeAndBeHealed]

He did 30 movies

[@GRINDETHIKSMIXTAPESHOW]

Yo I from The Bronx and I like most of the indie films that was done in Detroit Yo we need some of that indie vibe in The BX

[@JOESUBA122]

👌🏿👌🏿 I am from Harlem and i am working on it

[@bsandmg]

BX got stories and so many blocks, areas, plus a studio on Story

[@tinabonita1427]

I only go on Tubi to watch Dennis. His movies are amazing tubi lucky to have him on there.

[@CMGthemovement]

[@cheritalevonne7256]

I'm in awe of David's body of work...It's superb! He's brilliant, riveting and inspiring to my filmmaking aspirations ❤🎉

[@angela-kc9yg]

Can you produce a movie based on SISTAH SOLDIERS ' "THE COLDEST WINTER"

[@TyMapp]

I want to produce the coldest winter ever

[@tex4033]

Dennis I love your movies

[@dhaynes245]

🔥🔥🔥

[@work1034]

What about NIKKI TURNER

[@MattJaissleFilms]

I work for a well known company that has nearly 100 high profile movies on Tubi. "Millions" is a slight exaggeration. 😂

[@SKYGXDS]

That means nothing

[@BDoughly]

Which movies ?

[@TheF3kids]

You don't know the urban market. I worked in distribution as a sales rep for urban films. I sold millions of dollars in films.

[@RoyalMindElixirs]

You need to educate yourself on the urban market moron! People are making money!!

[@revenuemindzvision30]

#Salute I'm coming

[@work1034]

Mad cheap not in the just with the budget but with putting in proper work in the film Ask NIKKI TURNER ABOUT HIM HOE HE THREATENED TO KILL HER AND PULLED HER MOVIE DOWN FROM TUBI BECAUSE IT WAS OUT PERFORMING HIS SHITTY TITLES

[@LegendaryWoke]

Dude is definitely evil

[@bigpaulthedon5513]

RESPECT

[@JOESUBA122]

I love it! I funded my new film! There is nothing like it ! And yes and editor is everything! This is way my new film took so long to make!! SMH!!

[@ashleywatkins1380]

How did you get it funded? I don't know where to start.

[@JOESUBA122]

@@ashleywatkins1380 well I made a 10,000 Film look like 100,000 I used my Covid money just saved it up and now I am doing a new film this Friday we start filming and it cost me 15,000 to make!! And I have a low income job now and still I saved it up! Well my buddy is coming in on half so it’s 7,500

[@stealthuniversalproduction2729]

✨Inspirational! I felt his pain and going through his early stages of success. Is his distribution company called homestead entertainment?

[@freshramses]

what a cool individual

[@vaalonlinetv]

Wow man

[@Incomecoalition]

Kid L is completely ignoring the fact that big budget Hollywood films use the same strategy when it comes to casting big names “influencers” to sell tickets and promote their films. Every smart business person understands and utilizes the law of association.

[@KidLVideo]

Massive difference in using a highly marketable professionally trained actor with years of theatre, film, and production roles, versus a rapper with 200k followers on instagram.

[@ZPMBTV]

Tubi is a Platform that Wasn’t Available for Filmmakers & Actors before.. People be talking Crazy wishing they was on Tubi or Getting a Tubi Check.

[@bandamountcinematics]

I’m next

[@DariusParks-bs8js]

Ok I see you

[@profilmwork]

🚨 My movie - The Adventures Of P Diddy is doing numbers 🍿

[@donnad5064]

#boycottdennisreid #boycotttubi #justiceforshanquellarobertson Dennis Reid victim shamed and blamed Shanquella Robinson while her murderers are still free. Putting falsehoods in it as well. A real blessing would be for Dennis Reid to remove this content. So wrong.

[@teegrowl5186]

He created a picture of something similar and it had a message

[@LegendaryWoke]

He is very degrading to blacks as a whole. His content is evil!

[@Moorsense7]

He did not. People are just relentless and never satisfied. He called this his version of Law and Order. Law and Order is known to bring awareness to real cases. They are never exactly the same they are based loosely on true events. When our women face injustice we are in an uproar for no more than 30 days then it back to our life and people forget. This keeps that story out there. And he didn't victim shame he, he gave her justice in his episode.

[@work1034]

Yo this dude is lying to you he pays very little money and his films don’t make that much any more

[@mybrokelittlebestie]

I was wondering because there isn't much money in streaming indie films. It's pennies. Nobody is making millions on crappy indie movies unless he's doing shady dealings. 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@GG-ev2ez]

@@mybrokelittlebestie You can make $ but thousands is unusual. The millions he has is obviously coming from other places in addition to his films. Sounds like revenue from bars, restaurants and real estate.

[@Kingoklips618]

U definitely could make some serious money doing indie films now because they pay you from ads

[@mybrokelittlebestie]

@@Kingoklips618 millions tho? 🤷🏿‍♀️ I dunno. As many filmmakers I know with distribution deals and content, they aren't claiming to be millionaires. I'm just curious as to where the millions is actually coming from.

[@Kingoklips618]

@mybrokelittlebestie im just saying him lying n saying he’s a millionaire from films does what for his career? All im saying is why is it always the ones standing outside trying to tell you how things going inside? N idk maybe he’s more business savvy then ur friends are

[@jamesbarber1103]

Tubi movies are horrible

[@Respect2theFallen]

You're not lying. The independent made one's are usually ass sweat and the others are movies that are super old or didn't get the shine they deserved and they're trying to revive them

[@MsBob314]

True… and yet… 74MM active users and growing at 60% annually.

[@carmenfrazier5769]

No they are not. Is a lot of very good movies on Tubi

[@MsBob314]

Plenty of polished turds there, and yet films are making money.

[@anthonylangston6033]

😂😂

[@tanishastaton7820]

Tubi has good trash tho

[@hellatease6160]

Bro...i love yall movies...just plz work on good quality sound....my only complaint.
