FAQ
What's the difference of an indie movie and a foreign-language film?
An independent film is usually made by a single filmmaker who makes his or her own decisions about everything.
The opposite is true for foreign language films. They are usually produced by a larger production company.
They often hire actors, authors, and directors who are from other countries.
Professional translators are also available to ensure that the dialogue sounds natural.
Are foreign sales worth more to Hollywood than domestic?
Yes, but only a little. Around 17% of total revenue came from foreign sources in 2017. Domestic revenues accounted to 83%.
Over half of the world’s population is found in overseas markets.
Many people will want to see your movie even though they may not have the opportunity to watch it at home.
It is called Hollywood.
D.W. Griffith founded the first film industry in California in 1887. It was named for Los Angeles, which was at the time called "Hollywood."
Because it was such a fascinating place, people kept coming back for more. People would travel all the way from other countries to see what was happening.
Hollywood is still a part of our culture today. We have movies and television shows, music videos, commercials and so on. These are all known as Hollywood.
Are Hollywood and Bollywood bigger than Bollywood?
Producing films that are well-received is the most difficult challenge.
Problem is that many movies are competing for people's money and time. And if you don't stand out from the crowd, you won't have much chance of getting watched.
But what makes a movie successful? What makes an actor well-known? Or a director? You need to have talent but also luck. It doesn't matter if your actors are the best in the world. But a poor script will make you lose everything.
When it comes to movies, there are two main types. There are big-budget blockbusters as well as small independent productions. Producing and distributing blockbuster movies can cost hundreds of millions. They are typically made by huge studios who want to ensure that their movies reach a wide audience. But these big-budget films tend to appeal mainly to older audiences.
Independent films can be smaller productions funded by individuals or groups. These films tend to target niche markets and are tailored to specific tastes. These films are usually easier to market and produce. However, this does not mean they are always less expensive to watch. In fact, most indie films are very hard to find.
The question is whether we need both types. Are we going to need both big blockbuster movies or small independent films? Well, I think that Hollywood is actually bigger than Bollywood. Hollywood produces more movies than India every year.
How many theaters are necessary to make my investment back?
It all depends on how long your theatrical release will be running.
One theater is sufficient if you intend to screen your film for less time than two weeks.
You will need at least two theaters if you plan to keep your film running for more than 2 weeks.
Why don’t more filmmakers use crowdfunding platforms like Indiegogo, Kickstarter, and others?
Crowdfunding websites are great because you can reach potential investors directly.
However, most filmmakers do not believe they are qualified to request money. They feel that they need someone else to vouch for them.
Because they are still in their infancy, they do not believe that anyone should invest.
Instead, they spend months focusing on their project and hoping that someone will notice.
They realize that they did not prepare well when they launch their campaign.
Instead of receiving thousands of dollars, they receive a few donations.
What percentage of the box office goes to marketing budgets?
Marketing budgets can account for as much as 20% to 40% of a film’s overall budget. This is because marketing is very important to the success of any film.
Without effective marketing, no one will be able to find out about your film. Without knowing about your film, no one wants to pay to see it.

- If we translate this to a percentage, we get 28%, so let's be generous and say that ‘Hollywood studios' release about ⅓ of the movies released in the U.S. and Canada each year. (glitteratilobotomy.com)
