If you’re a 21st century movie-maker, then youcan’t pass up the following sites to help promote your film! Most of your audience will hear about your film through an online presence, not your uncle at church. Make sure you have an email account to sign up for any of these sites!
5. Bullet Film
For free you can upload your film, and setup a film presence for your audience. If you have a trailer, that’s even better!
4. IndieGoGo
IndieGoGo is new on the scene, but is already impacting filmmaking and filmmakers! Get people to donate to your film, communicate with your fans, and network with other filmmakers! (And don’t forget to “friend” IBWFF when you get there!!)
3. Film Festivals.com
Where else can you find the ultimate, international film festival guide? Better site for the larger film festivals, like the Berlin Film Festival or the San Francisco Film Festival.
2. Media-Convert.com
Convert almost any digital media to another format, including adjustments for sound, frames, size, etc. …and it’s all for FREE!
1. YouTube
YouTube is the film-/video-/movie-maker’s crack. The cons, is that your film is available …to everyone. If you have some old film school clips just sitting around, upload them and create a buzz and discussion around your work!
