MAWhy is the film industry so slow to produce new talent?
The next wave of filmmakers will be hybrid creators comfortable both in front of the camera and center stage.

JAIndie film market is about to come back stronger than ever

EDMost indie filmmakers spend everything getting their film made and have zero plan for what comes after.
Distribution is not a finish line. It's a strategy. And it has to be built before your film is done.
I'm sitting down with narrative filmmakers one-on-one at SXSW to talk through exactly this. If you'll be in Austin on March 14th, book a free session with me. Link in bio.
If you're not going, follow along. I'm bringing everything back here! 🎬

ALIf your film doesn’t land in the top festivals, the “offers” are you giving your rights away for shit money. And somehow the industry still calls this success. 🫠
But there’s another path: service-based distributors.�You hire them to help release the film while you keep your rights. 💸💸
Because the smartest filmmakers today aren’t waiting to get picked up. They’re steering the f****g ship. ✌️

EDNobody wants to say it out loud but it's true. Most independent filmmakers don't make money off their films. And that has to change. 🎬
I'm at SXSW having the real conversations about distribution, self-distribution, and what viable routes actually exist for us as filmmakers trying to build real careers.
If you can't be here in person, you don't have to figure this out alone.
Hit me up. Let's talk. 🙌

ED🎬 Are you SLEEPING ON these revenue paths? (Not Netflix) 🫣
Most indie filmmakers finish their film and funnel all their energy into chasing a streaming deal, without realizing there are three other revenue paths they have full control over right now.
I'm breaking all of them down at my SXSW Braindate and I'd love to workshop your specific situation with you. Join the topic using the link in bio, and follow @edsonjean.director for daily SXSW insights all week. 🤠

SOever wonder how to get your film in movie theaters? Well I reached out to every indie theater in NY, LA, Miami, and Chicago so I have some advice.

KDSomewhere along the way, indie film stopped being a haven for the creative underdogs, and turned into a scene of mostly aspiring filmmakers making films for festival audiences of other filmmakers.
And that system, aside from completely ignoring mainstream audiences who might really enjoy it, creates an unsustainable environment for aspiring filmmakers, putting the burden on the folks who can't afford it, and offers limited real career advancement.
Having spent a decade plus as a filmmaker, a lot of this stuff that we're taught in film school, or accept as advise from those more successful than us just doesn't really add up when you stop to consider it.
And aspiring creatives deserve a better way forward.
I've been digging into this stuff a lot more on Substack, check out the full article and more, link in bio!

ED🎬 The most useful conversation you'll have at SXSW won't happen in a panel room. 👀
Fake networking is exhausting and everyone already knows it, which is exactly why Braindate is built differently. It's one-on-one or small group conversations centered on a real topic, with people who actually want to be there.
I'm hosting on sustainable distribution and I'll be sharing everything I'm hearing and watching from SXSW all week long. Comment SXSW if you'll be in Austin. 🖐️

PAThe indie film market has changed 🎬
Theatrical builds awareness.
Digital drives revenue.
If your film isn’t built to sell, it won’t.
