Why Making a Feature Film Is Smarter Than Making Another Short

Should you make another short film... or is it finally time to make your first feature film? After years of making smaller projects, I finally took the leap and created my first feature film, Blood Brothers. The experience completely changed the way I think about filmmaking, distribution, YouTube, and the business of being an independent filmmaker. In this video, I explain why I believe more filmmakers should consider making feature films, what I learned from distributing my movie through Filmhub, and why I eventually came back to YouTube—where Blood Brothers is now approaching 80,000 views. Short films are great for learning and gaining experience, but at some point, you have to ask yourself: Are you ready to make the movie you've always wanted to make? We talk about: Short films vs. feature films Learning filmmaking by actually making movies YouTube as a film distribution platform Making money from independent films Streaming and film distribution Hosting premieres and taking your movie on tour Why you shouldn't wait until you feel “ready” If you're an aspiring filmmaker, indie filmmaker, director, cinematographer, or creator trying to figure out your next project, I hope this video inspires you to stop waiting and MAKE THE MOVIE.
