B osley Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:53:51 +0000 http://www.filmpop.tv/blog/?p=78#comment-11 I like this blog post. What I like the most is the emphasis on making it part of the budget. I believe that every great film sucess was due in no small part to the marketing. It doesn't mean the films were bad and that someone just put some "spin" on it. I believe that marketing is communicating the right message to the right audience so they know what you have to offer. If people don't know about your movie, why would they watch? Are they going to just spontaneous go to the nearest movie theater or festival with your movie some how in their mind, even if they've never heard the name?<br><br>I know someone will jump on this comment for me making my last statement but I believe that 75% of a films sucess is not in the film but in the marketing. And I'm a writer/director admitting that. I'm bummed to have to admit that.. but it's true. I like this blog post. What I like the most is the emphasis on making it part of the budget.
