Today I’m talking to Filmmaker Jason Horton. Jason has a lot of credits both documentary and fiction features. He’s also a bit of a guru when it comes to online aggregators like film hub and indie rights.
His tag line is "I make movies that make money” which is actually a bold claim at the micro budget end. So I wanted to dig into the methods of distribution he uses, his advice for low and micro budget filmmakers and some things to avoid. Enjoy!

I started out watching TH-cam videos to learn, and Jasons were on the list. Went right back to the start with them. Pretty solid info from a legit guy.
amen to that!
Jason has such rare helpful insights.
Amen!
The moment a filmmaker stops giving people what they already need and starts creating something people never knew they needed he or she will be a billionaire.
You, good sir, just got yourself a subscriber from someone who doesn't social media often or well. Really good stuff. The way things continue to shift in the industry has been fascinating. Appreciate Jason's insight into his process and methods.
Thank you and welcome!
Great videos/podcast Jim, as someone who's completed their first feature, and is heading from festival run into distribution, this kind of straight advice is invaluable. Thank you! Hope the channel grows and grows.
Hi - thank you for your kind words - really pleased it's helping + just watched the trailer it it looks FAB - the Ghostwatch vibes are giving my PTSD from childhood!! Great work - keep us posted on the film!
Good to see Jason back. Thanks for the interview. I subbed and liked to support the channel.
Awesome thank you! Are you a filmmaker?
Jason is saying a lot of the things I've experienced as a producer working in the no budget area
He's got some great advice in this area!
He missed a huge opportunity to ask you about marketing.
Will get Jason back on! There's a good chat I had with Rosa specifically about marketing features th-cam.com/video/NTL3mdtEBpY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lqe38-fxHUCER0cQ
Does anyone know the names of the "beach movie comedies" he mentioned? (Asking for a friend).
Great interview, Question Does this information applies to shows as well?
Yes - shows are a great way to make ££ on Film Hub and I have heard people say the platform is leaning toward them - one reason might be that they have the potential for longer viewer retention - since you want to watch the next episode - which then leads to better Ad viewing figures.
I need to speak to Jason! I'm a documentary/unscripted creator.
He's very active on Facebook - if you are not on it already - this is a great place to pose questions facebook.com/groups/thejhorton
good interview.
Thank you 😊 - are you a filmmaker?
@@thehonestfilmmaker yes, as you can tell from my TH-cam name :). new feature screening on TH-cam. that's the 6th feature, 11th film overall. have screened my movies at theaters in NYC, Chicago, MD/DC, Seattle. 3 features up at my account.
@@thehonestfilmmaker thought I replied to this one, perhaps it did not get sent. yes - around 10 films now, several fiction features.
@@NYCIndieFilmmakerSujewa great stuff - just subscribed!
@@thehonestfilmmaker thanks!
Will filmhub reject a film that has bloopers after the end credits?
Good question - leave it with me
They won’t reject, but their QC team might delete the bloopers without asking you. We’ve had a few scenes (especially mid or post credit scenes) cut by their QC teams.
@@ropertv Thanks. I decided to just run the credits over the bloopers, and just squash the issue :) LoL. It passed their QC!
@@lookalike6270 Great! What’s the name of the show? I’ll give it a watch
@@ropertv thanks for the insight 👍
34:34 Teen comedies for $5,000? I'll believe that when I see it.... titles please. (looking to hire someone so get your friend a job here 😉 )
Wow, what a great channel. This is fantastic. Thank you so much for starting this.
Thank you 🙏- let me know who you’d like me to chat to next 👍
@@thehonestfilmmaker I would say, casting Director, Samuel Warren.
@@thehonestfilmmaker I saw an interview with him when he talked about getting A list actors for your Indy film. He seemed really great.
@@biguglybuilders yes nice guy - well worth following him on socials - lots of great info!
