The Business of Filmmaking - Sundance 2013 - No Budget Filmmaking



Filmmaking is a business. Whether you're an independent filmmaker making a No Budget movie, or a big film studio spending 100 million on a big budget film. It all comes down to business.

Treat your film like a business. Treat your movie like a product you are wanting to sell. And you will stand out above the crowd.

Every movie this year at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival has someone trying to sell the movie. A big agent like WME or UTA. A big entertainment law firm or publicist. Bottom line is....these indie filmmakers who have films screening at Sundance have business people working for them.

Even if you don't want to make money with your movie, and just want to share it with the world, you have to treat your film like a business to market it. If no one hears about your movie, it will never be seen.

You can find out a lot of secrets about the business of filmmaking in Jack Truman's new filmmaking book NO BUDGET FILMMAKING, the new book from Dixie Publishing.

Truman is an award winning filmmaker whose films have screened at over 300 film festivals worldwide.

Jack Truman will be attending this week's 2013 Sundance and Slamdance Film Festivals in Park City, Utah for the release of the new book NO BUDGET FILMMAKING.
