We frequently hold the conflicting desire of wanting our content to be globally relevant, yet to also be authentic on a local level. ‘International’ stories are meant to bridge this gap, consisting of a core theme or idea that is meant to unite audiences regardless of nationality – however, this approach doesn’t respect or celebrate the nuances of cultural differences. I’ve been thinking about ways to make content on a ‘glocal’ level (surprisingly enough, that is a real word).
This blog catalogues my attempts to move beyond the “struggling” point to earn a healthy living from indie filmmaking and multiplatform content. I’ll be mixing proven business techniques with innovative ideas and case studies that show how we can commercially exploit our talent for profit. Money isn’t the goal, but it is the means that we need to live, so let’s get better at creating it alongside our indie films (and other creative stuff).
