IFH 024: How I Made Over $90,000 Selling my Short Film

IFH 024: How I Made Over $90,000 Selling my Short Film

So I directed a small action short film a few years back called "BROKEN." I shot the film on MiniDV Tape (yes I'm old) on the Panasonic DVX 100a, the indie film workhorse of its day. My team and I filmed it in West Palm Beach Florida (not exactly the Mecca of the film industry) and it starred only local, non named actors.
Now once the filming was over I marketed the living hell out of that little short. It went on to screen at over 250 international film festivals, win countless awards and be covered by over 300 news outlets. That little film had a life of it's own. I even got a review of legendary film critic Roger Ebert:

"BROKEN is essentially a demonstration of the mastery of horror imagery and techniques. Effective and professional." - Roger Ebert

Now you must be asking,
"But Alex how the hell did you make money with it?"
Well, I knew that no one would pay real money for a 20 minute short film, shot on MiniDV, with no name actors and from a first time director to boot. So I planned to create a guerrilla indie film school with over 3 hours of footage, tutorials, commentaries and more.
For the whole story take a listen.
