Is low-budget independent films slowly disappearing? Filming “Behind The Scenes” footage on film production allows me to get close to the creative production process and it’s always interesting to soak up and capture the atmosphere on a film set. This clip is from T.I.M., a low-budget indy film which was release on Netflix recently, which means it gets a wide distribution but many indy films are not so lucky and only gets a short run at festivals before being shelved. With less people going to the cinema, it’s become harder to finance low-budget films. I wonder if they will they still get made in 5-10 years? When did you last go to the cinema to watched a low-budget film?

This really depends on your goals. Is your goal to connect with community and build audiences or to meet with agents and seek representation? You have to think about these. When you work on your film festival strategy, start with this tier of festivals. Look out for the “When” because that determines your premiere status. Then you want to look into niche film festivals like the Cascade Festival for African Films or the American Black Film Festival. Once these festivals respond look into your local film festivals. Also, set aside a budget for traveling.
