Description
🎬 New Low-Budget Rebels Episode: The Art of Marketing Your Indie FilmHey Rebels!
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by some amazing filmmakers to dig deep into one of the hardest parts of indie filmmaking — getting people to actually watch your movie.
• Traci and Jon Russell Cring talk about how filmmakers can get creative with marketing, involve their audiences in promotion, and use their unique voice as a selling point to build real connections and get people out to screenings.
• Max Remmler dives into the power of titles and posters — how small changes can make your film more accessible, memorable, and easier for audiences to find.
• Ricky Glore shares the success and failures of attempting to take his movie on tour with Troma, booking screenings across indie theaters, and finding the right balance between appealing to a specific genre while still telling your own story.
• Mitch McLeod and I wrap things up by discussing festival strategy, how to engage people to leave reviews, and experimenting on social media in ways that actually get attention.
Every one of these conversations is packed with honest, practical insight — the kind of stuff that helps filmmakers like us not just make movies, but get them seen.
