Expand postThese are some of my Youtube channel numbers. With low budget indie movies, I know I would never get these many eyeballs through conventional distribution, (which I also do in addition to the channel). I think this is the way to go; treating a youtube channel as if it was a TV channel. However, some folks will say "youtube views don't count". Any opinions?
But did they make any money? Or: How many views do you have to get to get paid anything, and how much is that? In other words: What the point of views for your film when you're not making any or pennies from all the views?

Expand commentIt's a revolving door, money comes in and out, and I get to break even almost all the time. The revenue share from google is very bad, no doubt about it; but so is conventional distribution for low budget films. Anyone who's honest will tell you that. Of course, bluffing exists. As well as I could lie and say I'm making tons of money with all those millions of views, many will for sure lie and say they're making good money with their DVD releases. I do both; most movies you see in my channel have been in the market for years, two of them with Warner Bros Independent. The conventional model is equally lousy. The times of advance money at the moment of signing a contract are long gone, and residuals are plagued with what everybody knows as "Hollywood accounting", meaning overblown marketing budgets to justify not giving the producers any money or very little. So the question that you stated actually should be: "what's the point of views vs conventional, if none of them will bring in good cash"? Then the answer is: Is there a point in making movies if you are not getting rich off of it? The answer to that depends on each individual and their assessment of what makes them happy or what is true success. If you ask almost any filmmaker at any age, they will tell you that what they want the most is to be able to make movie after movie. DVD, four-walling, TV, and now also youtube are different venues to keep doing what we love.

I enjoying Roger Corman's Autobiography, "How I Made a Hundred Movies in Hollywood and Never Lost a Dime." I would love to work with someone like him: no non-sense, hates bureaucracy, refuses go rule by committee. So refreshing.
I read his book almost 20 years ago, and I've been following his steps as much as I can for all these years.

Bienvenido, Joaquín. Suena bien

Hello Noelle, I've read your profile, I like too sports like those, in the other hand I think we can collaborate, in the social media, I have an experience that could be very enlightening for you !

Expand postHi Everyone, I'm Mark Cabaroy, I've been on Stage 32 since 2012 and have met and worked with some really great people, but the one person I haven't met and worked with yet is a great producer and I know there has got to be many of them on this website. You see most people are looking for a producer because they think that the producer will have money or be able to help them raise money, but I've come to believe this isn't true or even necessary. A Great Producer, produces and can do so with little or no money. They can do this because they network and they know people and who ever they don't know they learn how to meet . They can get goods and services often for nothing or for very little, sometimes this involves bartering but many times people will work for them for nothing because they want to be associated with them or the particular production they're involved with at the time. I know this for a fact because I've seen it happen many times with every facet of making a film. I think I'm a great filmmaker, I can write, direct, shoot, edit and yes produce, I've been doing this for longer than some of you who are reading this have been alive. I feel I now have a decent body of work and so I'm looking for a great producer to help me get to the next level of my craft. If you think this is you please feel free to contact me. Here's an sample of my most recent work https://youtu.be/L6KJ3V0Jedw?list=PLGKcfEFaKatGGn6joF2U-S4zOxQcoSJjk If you want to see other examples just google me you'll find I have films, interviews and articles written about on many websites. I look forward to hearing from some of you, especially the ones of you whom are great producers. Thanks Mark Cabaroy http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0136242/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

It's up to you to network and make those connections that can make a difference in your career. What you can do, however, is make one promotional post in the My Stage section of the Lounge. Hope that helps.

Hi all, I'm Ricardo Islas with Alpha Studios. We've been producing horror for three decades. Great to be here.
Wow, that's amazing. Does that include post-production? I'm guessing you did a lot of careful pre-production and have a lot of friends who were willing to help out. Great work!

Expand commentThank you, Joe. I have a group of great guys with whom I've worked for years. True that I do a lot myself, since I'm an editor and DP. There's a method to make this work, and I would lie if I said that it's something that anyone can standardize. However, we have done this for others, making it possible for them to produce a movie for a budget that would have been impossible almost anywhere else. Yes, very meticulous pre-production has a key role. I will make the movie available through my youtube channel this Halloween. I will be happy to share it here.

Our approach is pretty unique, taking low budget to a different level by having our movies look as if they were made with much bigger budgets than they actually had. We invest smart, that simple. If you have a script or idea and the kind of money everybody told you is not enough to even get started, we might tell you a different story. We also have the facts and track record to back up our approach. Just google us or imdb us... (that verb doesn't exist, I know) Hi all, and I'm looking forward to doing some great stuff with this network.
Hey Ricardo, this is Julie from the Stage 32 team. I just wanted to let you know I moved your post from Filmmaking / Directing to Introduce Yourself, as it fits much better there. Let me know if you have any questions, and all the best to you!
Thank you!
Hi Rob. Thank you for reaching out; I would say it all depends on what you like. Even when most of them are horror in the youtube channel, there are different kinds of horror to them.
