The world of independent cinema is vast. It is filled with creative hopefuls looking to share their stories with the world, but for many of these filmmakers they lack the tools and knowledge to make it happen. Having funding is one thing, but knowing how to spend that money is a different issue. The Indie App provides tips, tricks and information for all levels of independent filmmakers to help make their productions successful.
The first steps is creation of the app and the blog, which will require a small level of funding. this can be achieved by approaching several private investors in the filmmaking world. Other like-minded filmmakers looking to give back to their community. A crowd-funding campaign would begin to not only raise a small amount of capital, but gauge the interest level of our idea.
The difference from our app/blog and others is that it will be filmmaker focused. For filmmakers, by filmmakers. A blog component will include stories from other indie filmmakers. What they have learned on and off set. Problems they have encountered and their solutions. The indie filmmaker learns by doing and now they can learn by the experience of others.
Hello Alex,
ReplyDeleteCaptain Fancy Pants is here,
As I was reading this, I thought it would be really cool to have some type of visual representation of this app. A sketch or a wire frame of what it would look like. I would definitely love to see that! Seems that this app is a money management app for film makers to help with their production with other features added. Will this application influence people to dive into film making? It seems as though film makers as well as those who want to start making movies will be intrigued by this app.
Honestly, it might serve those who are thinking about shooting something or maybe have a few smaller production under their belt. If we're thinking "pie in the sky", the app could be broadened to introduce people into the film arts and other ways to express their creativity.
