That's it. I'm getting my screenplays made. They're all award winning and its time to move to the next step. Thanks so much for this video. Now to get a budget!
This filmmaker series is really quite helpful and unique. Your interview style is personable, putting guests at ease to give a wealth of knowledge. Quite a service-- thank you! Do you think her comment on stereo holds true on Filmhub as well? I had to maximixe the lav clarity by using dual mono in my last doc. Good job J. Fantastic stuff!
The feature has a whole should be mixed in stereo. I think it's okay to have interivew dialog in dual mono. (but don't take my word for it, i'm not 100 percent) But the music and ambiant should always be stereo. And the final export should be stereo.
Linda mentions they have a document that outlines their preferred marketing/social media strategies. I looked on their site, and nada. Of course, this talk is 2 yrs old. Any possibility of an update about that?
Linda mentioned that she wanted a film delivered in 16.9 but what about if my film is edited and exported in 2.39.1 aspect ratio? No, not just 16.9 with Black Graphic bars added actually edited in this aspect ratio? Isnt that still going to deliver a 16.9 but just instead of graphic bars actual black will appear?
yeah, they want 1920x1080.If your film is shot 1920x820 for example it would have the letterbox black bars on the top and bottom. but the file to be a 1920x1080 frame or 3840 x 2160 if it's 4k.
Hi sorry one question. On the Prime video direct page I read that 4k is not supported. On the requirements of the file it is written like this, do you think? "File requirements Prime Video Direct supports video resolutions up to 1920x1080p. (4K/UHD content is currently not supported)"
@@RichardWaters thank you. I do most of mine myself. But when I have trouble nailing one, I have found a few good, cheap artists on Fivver. I don't have a specific artist I'd reccomend. IT really depends on the genre and style of poster. Also, if you just go into almost any large filmmaking group on FB and ask. You'll get a few dozen responses usually.
J. Horton I’m always slightly cautious of Fiverr, but I guess some of the prices are so low it’s not exactly gonna be a huge risk if it’s a wash there! Thanks a lot for the tips! Keep up the videos. I’ve only recently discovered the channel and been enjoying what you’ve been putting out!
Great info J Horton and Linda at Indie films. I remember seeing her on the Zacuto Tube show. Your.doing a great job gathering this info and is much needed in these times of the co vid lock down and the change in distribution streaming methods Getting ready to distribute my indie feature asongforus.com Thanks! Peter - Toronto.
that's not how it typically works at that budget level or lower. Typically a distributor licenses your movie for a percent of profits. You are paid when the movie earns. They don't pay you upfront. Usually you get between 60 and 80 percent of the revenue, minus any fees the distributor may have occurred. In the case of IndieRights they don't charge any fees, they just take 20 percent of the profit... Now occasionally a distributor will give a small advance against potential profits, but that's pretty rare for indie stuff. It's happens, but it's rare.

Nice job!
Awesome. What is the shortest that film submission can be (time) example 30 minutes. 60 minutes?
Great insights in this interview. Thank you for sharing.
This was incredibly helpful. Most distributor interviews are so bland and generic but she provided details that could actually make a difference.
thanks. Planning another with her next month.
This is truly fantastic! Thanks both :) Shall definitely be looking into Indie Rights in the future :)
yeah they're definitely good people. I got a really good interview with the head of Filmhub dropping week after next. the 15th. Look out for that.
@@JHorton Excellent, I am looking forward to it 😀
@@JHorton look forward to it
Great questions and answers! She was so full of information & transparency. Great job, homie!
That's it. I'm getting my screenplays made. They're all award winning and its time to move to the next step. Thanks so much for this video. Now to get a budget!
You got this!

Great stuff! I'm going down a rabbit hole on your videos. Glad I found you.
that's very cool. means a lot to me. I'm just starting to do more interview content. Got some really good ones coming up this next month.
Very Insightful and interesting video as always these videos keep getting better and better
This is incredibly helpful. Thank you for doing this. You should share this in Filmakers On .

Incredible interview! So much good information!
Thank you. Did an pretty good one with the ceo of filmhub too.
This is really insightful and amazing. Great one man
thank you. appreciate it.
EXCELLENT 👍👍👍
Really enjoyed this.
Great interview. I like her
Linda mentions they have a document that outlines their preferred marketing/social media strategies. I looked on their site, and nada. Of course, this talk is 2 yrs old. Any possibility of an update about that?
They share it with filmmakers they work with not publicly.
Linda mentioned that she wanted a film delivered in 16.9 but what about if my film is edited and exported in 2.39.1 aspect ratio? No, not just 16.9 with Black Graphic bars added actually edited in this aspect ratio? Isnt that still going to deliver a 16.9 but just instead of graphic bars actual black will appear?
Great channel BTW!

Great interview!
Do actors in independent films get royalties once streaming on Amazon prime?
totally depends on their deal and contract. Most non-union productions do not do that.
@@JHorton Thank you so much.
Amen!
This is PURE GOLD.
thank you. I just did a follow up interview with her. Should be out sometime next month.
Hi sorry one question. On the Prime video direct page I read that 4k is not supported. On the requirements of the file it is written like this, do you think?
"File requirements
Prime Video Direct supports video resolutions up to 1920x1080p. (4K/UHD content is currently not supported)"
yeah they don't support UHD.
Invaluable! Blessings
Is there any tips on where to go for graphic artists? I feel like it's the one thing I always hit into a brick wall with!
Also, really good interview!!
@@RichardWaters thank you. I do most of mine myself. But when I have trouble nailing one, I have found a few good, cheap artists on Fivver. I don't have a specific artist I'd reccomend.

So it’s better to film a movie in HD instead of 4K ?
No. She’s just saying they’re still predominately delivering in hd. This will change in the future. Best to start up reZing now
wonder.
Great info J Horton and Linda at Indie films. I remember seeing her on the Zacuto Tube show.

Getting ready to distribute my indie feature asongforus.com Thanks! Peter - Toronto.
thank you and you're welcome.
What's the general timeline for getting a film to market with Indie Rights?
they're pretty quick. i've had some movies placed within a few weeks of delivering to them.
Horton?
yeah, as in hears a who.
For a $90K Film, how much Lump Sum does Distribution pays the Filmmaker?
that's not how it typically works at that budget level or lower. Typically a distributor licenses your movie for a percent of profits. You are paid when the movie earns. They don't pay you upfront. Usually you get between 60 and 80 percent of the revenue, minus any fees the distributor may have occurred.

Now occasionally a distributor will give a small advance against potential profits, but that's pretty rare for indie stuff. It's happens, but it's rare.
Is it hard to get your fin with indie rights
Not really you just submit it on their website, they’ll either take it or they won’t. The process is easy.
ahh AFM terrible place!! I did the same thing
