ITS NOT OVER YET, GOT DELIVERABLES? IF NOT, I’M SORRY, NO ONE WILL SEE YOUR FILM!

It is shocking how little information is available to indie filmmakers out on the net and in film schools. I don’t mean film studies or techniques…but details on how to get a film out there, how to make it look acceptable or decent, from the point of view of people that have actually done it.

Making a film is a fantastic thing, if you can survive the process of making one, if you reach that final cut, I congratulate you sir or madam, you have truly accomplished something many will only dream of doing. Nevermind what the new crop of moronic film critics might say (it seems everyone with a blog can become a critic now days), what is important is what the distributor says, do they like it?, is it something they can sell?, MOST IMPORTANTLY…DO YOU HAVE DELIVERABLES?!!!

Once your film is done, its not over, not by a long shot. Every studio will ask you to deliver the film in its basic elements, sound-picture-extra features for DVD or Pay-Per-View. The catch is, this costs a fortune, and every element, every master tape with an element needs to go through a process called “QC”, or “quality control”.
Its kind of like a test that a video or film lab gives you, and you must pass this quality test, a very expensive test..I might add. If not, you have to take it again, paying for it again.

$$, it adds up, thousands of dollars indie filmmakers don’t have.
