There’s a busker in Toronto named Steve.
The thing about Steve is that he’s brilliant at what he does. And I mean brilliant. Better than most bands you’ve heard on the radio.
Yet he’s still a busker.
Why?
Does he lack talent? No. Does he lack ambition? Hell no! He’s one of the most ambitious people I know!
So what’s the difference between Steve, and a band that makes millions? (minus the fact that Steve plays Wonderwall every 5 minutes)
It’s the audience. One has one. The other has none.
You can have an amazing film, but if you have no audience, you’ll never get the recognition you deserve.
The question then becomes… how do you go about getting MASSIVE amounts of people to watch your film? And while you’re at it, how can you have THEM spread the word foryou?
If you ask so called filmmaking “gurus” you’d get answers like “you just gotta build your audience bro.”
…But HOW?
HOW do you “build” an audience?
It’s not like an IKEA table. You can’t just go to their warehouse and ask “can you point me to the audience section? I gotta build one.”
