Is it Harder to Make Money from Indie Films Today | J. Horton Films

[@RetentionPictures]

This guy makes movies that make money! As always, excellent insight, Mr. Horton. Currently shooting my first feature length, and I just wanted to let you know that you, Film Courage, and hundreds of director commentaries have been my film school. Now it's time for the final exam. Gonna throw on the making of 'Craving'. 9 hour crash course of indie filmmaking here I come👏🏻

Helpful inside information

[@fiat2496]

Thanks so much for this J. We are all so lucky to have you sharing this info

[@RealNowTruth]

Great video. Question: when you put out a film, or when any film is put out, I notice Filmhub or Indie Rights will be a preceding credit. Is that edited into your copy by yourself (as a task)? Or do they just "bookend" whatever they take on? Thanks.

[@JHorton]

If I have the option, I like to cut it in myself. IR gives you the video file. FH doesn't require a credit.

Question, i can make more short films versus feature length films. are there any way to make money off of those films?

[@JHorton]

I talk in detail about this in this livestream. But the short answer (in general) is not really.

Hey J, should films in other languages have an English title if I’m going to Tubi

How,do you become a director for another company? How do you get these for,hire gigs?

[@JHorton]

i was offered the job. A mutal friend that was familar with me, reccommended me. Other times it was through producers I met working on other jobs as a camera man or editor.

[@themightyflog]

@@JHorton So cool. I wish I had these connections. I do online commercials and such but looking to get into film and documentaries. Thanks for the reply.

I know is hard but can you build a grassroots audience that can help boost revenue for your film
