When making a project filmmakers often find themselves working in a vacuum. The efforts to get the project up and running, combined with the difficultly to keep it on the tracks, can lead to mistakes that could have been avoided. Certain mistakes can be costly or even result in a project being shelved. Many of these issues can be avoided when filmmakers are willing to be transparent around the process of making and distributing their work.
The
New Breed is a group blog featuring filmmakers in various phases of the process. Lead by Zak Forsman (
I F*cking Hate You, Heart of Now) and featuring a list of contributors that includes Todd Sklar (
Box Elder), Zeke Zelker (
In Search Of), Jenny Able (
Abel Raises Cain), JJ Lask (
On the Road with Judas), and Justin Evans (
A Lonely Place to Die). New Breed covers a wide range of topics such as funding, production, post, festival strategy, audience building, social media and distribution.
15 filmmakers have come together to share their experiences and the New Breed is looking for more.
