Building Indie Films On Demand

By Ericka Marsh


As an aspiring director, you do not have to instantly compete with the big films especially when you have just graduated. You can only make that possible if you already have a lot of connections. If that is not the case, then you can try to be an expert in independent films for starters and move on from there.

First of all, you will have to be sure that you will never go beyond your budget. Take note that the additional expenses will already be on you if you will not be practical with your indie films on demand. Yes, they have to be the best but then, your budget can sharpen your skills and prepare you for the real world.

Second, you would need to create a story that would be able to pique the interest of anybody. Remember that you would want to have great attention in here as much as possible. If you would not be afraid to touch controversial topics, then that can be the door that would open a lot of chances to you.

Third, you would have to decide on who your actors would be. If you have some friends from a theatre group, then that can work to your advantage. That is because you can ask them to act for free in exchange of the exposure that they can get. As you could see, you do not have to make things complicated.

You need to decide on where the scenes would take place. If you are required to be in a beach, then settle for one that has great waters and no entrance fee. If you would do that, then you would still be in line with your budget without having to compromise anything. That is what matters in here.

You have to create the perfect flow in here. If there are some flashbacks that are needed to be acted upon, then you would have to write that down in your format. If not, then there is a chance that you would be interchanging things in here and that would only lead you to act the scenes all over again.

You need to find a scriptwriter. If the person who has provided you with the story would be able to do that, then you would just have to hand in your specifications. If you would do that, then you are bound to have a smooth flow in here and that is all that matters.

Never stray far away from the story that you have acquired. Take note that you are only supposed to bring a piece of art to life. If you will change it to fit your tastes, then no writer will want to work with you ever again.

Overall, you just need to do the best that you can in here. If you would be in that mode, then you would not be wasting any of your efforts. You can finally show to the world what your talent is all about.
