I’m not aspiring to be anything I’m a screenwriter I’m a director I’m a filmmaker I put in the work so I AM

If you could only keep and watch ONE Alfred Hitchcock film, what are you picking?

Microbudget filmmakers working with SHOESTRING BUDGETS… Can you drop some stills from your film? We want to highlight the fact that microbudget films CAN be visually stunning 🤩✨🎥 #cinematography #microbudgetfilm #indiefilm #microbudget

@_microbudgetpod Alex in Nashville here. Jack of all trades (writer, director, actor, cinematographer, editor, etc.). Recently finished post on my first micro budget feature and currently writing the second.

If you’re a DIY scrappy micro budget filmmaker, INTRODUCE YOURSELF BELOW (and say where you’re based)!! More microbudget filmmakers need to meet with each other, and network. Say hi! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #microbudgetfilm #networking #nobudgetfilms #filmmakers

@JaimePrimak Hey hey!

Please 🥹

@g0regirlll This will be an instant buy for me and an opening night in the theater watch. Love this series.

@_microbudgetpod Writer, director, actor, and cinematographer based in Nashville, TN here. Will gladly do any of the above for fellow filmmakers.

Let’s get into BARTERING! Lots of films don’t get made because indie filmmakers can’t afford to pay their crew. If ur a filmmaker willing to barter services, comment below with your role & location! Ex: I’m a director in Chicago! I’ll direct your film if you produce mine!

@HouseOfHorrorCo Smile easily.

@terrorca 💀

If you’re a horror fan, reply with a skull emoji💀 for other horror fans to discover and follow you.

@_microbudgetpod I personally use DaVinci Resolve Studio but the free version packs a punch and can do most of what you could need. Spent forever on Final Cut Pro X and it's come a long way. Super easy to learn and there's a ton of worthwhile plug ins.

Adobe Premiere Pro, but for the editors out there, throw out more suggestions!

@terrorca Ginger Snaps. Late Phases is a close second.

What's your favorite horror movie about a lycanthrope?

@_microbudgetpod Post on a feature and writing both a short and the next feature. It's... well, it's going.

Indie Filmmakers, what are you working on these days? How’s it going?

@PoorOldRoloTony Caught this in the theater and loved every minute of it. It’s not perfect but it’s exactly what I was looking for… a fresh take on a tried and true genre.

I’ve seen some vitriolic hate directed towards In a Violent Nature (2024), when by my perception, it’s what we want from scrappy horror movies. It boldly takes risks and doesn’t play by traditional rules. Isn’t this what we want? Even if you’re not a fan, it’s a big swing.

@moonleeferguson I was brought on to shoot a third of a feature in one day. Director had no shot list and no real plan. We did 30+ pages that day. "Unfortunately", I was unable to shoot on the other day(s).

Filmmaker: *proudly* I don’t watch movies. Me: I can tell. Filmmaker: *proudly* I only wrote one draft, 30 pages, and shot it in a day! Me: I can tell.

@mistydawnfilm I keep hearing it's dope. Looks like it's moving up on my list of things to watch.

Well sheeeeeeeet.... When Evil Lurks is absolutely wild y'all.

Please stop writing the worst movies of the year lists. No one sets out to make a bad movie. So many people work their asses off to try and do the best job they can so let’s not celebrate when something doesn’t work.

If you’re shooting a super indie project, you don’t necessarily need a production truck & 20 crew. Many times I’ve seen filmmakers with a very limited budget feel they need everything to seem like a studio set, then have no money left for post & try to crowdfund. Keep it simple

@_microbudgetpod Been in post production for an eternity but I’m getting there… I think.

Indie microbudget filmmakers! What part of the production process are you in? Finding your crew Casting Location scouting Rehearsals Shot listing Principle Photography Post Production Or working the festival circuit How’s it going??

Not all filmmakers have aspirations to get to Hollywood. Some of us are enamored with the idea of creating independently, on our own terms, with our community. There is no right or wrong way to be a filmmaker 💜
