THE MOVIE MAKING HUB
BOLD RESOURCES. REAL STORIES. SECRETS FROM THE SET.
KNOW YOUR GENRE
“Genre is your blueprint.”
+ Your genre guides your story, your audience, and how you’ll sell your film.
+ Thriller, romance, comedy, knowing your genre shapes your entire journey.
+ It’s how buyers, streamers, and fans know exactly what you’re offering.
HAVE A PLAN FOR DISTRIBUTION & MARKETING
“Don’t wait until you yell ‘That’s a wrap!’”
Ask yourself:
+ Who’s my audience?
+ Where will my film live? (Tubi, YouTube, Amazon?)
+ How will I promote it?
Your plan turns your movie from a dream into a business.
