Hi everyone!

I'm here looking for filmmakers who might have tried it the traditional way, but who are now treading new ground, finding innovative ways to fund, promote, and monetise their projects. I have a blog that does case studies so other indie content creators can copy successful indie film business techniques... rather than starve ;)

If you have a project that fits the bill, and you'd like a bit of promotion on my blog, I would love to do a case study. Please first check the blog for an idea of what I'm looking for in a project, and then let me know:
- type of project
- links to images, trailers, etc
- initial business goals
- strategy & techniques to meet goals
- dates / time line
- results by milestone or to date (ballpark figures, $ earned, audience size reached, etc)

The blog isn't about how to be a great filmmaker - there are enough websites about that - but rather, how to earn a living from your art when the traditional way doesn't achieve that.

Some things touched on so far include the freemium business model, where you make money from a secondary source such as fulfilment mechandising (eg CafePress, Zazzle), and building an audience for your project in advance of making it.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Luci
