INTRODUCTION The proliferation of portable cameras and video editing software today has created new opportunities for both aspiring and established filmmakers. It is now possible to film an entire movie using only GoPro or an iPhone. However, this ease of production for filming, as well as reduction in costs, does not address the continuing need for a direct connection between independent filmmakers and their audiences. Currently, most of a film’s budget and revenues go to distribution and marketing third-parties instead of directly to filmmakers. While many filmmakers today turn to crowdfunding to secure funding, and in spite of the availability of crowdfunding platforms, thousands of small companies that produce independent films are still not able to monetize their creativity. This lack of funding leads to many talented filmmakers and screenwriters turning to exhibition venues, such as YouTube and other video blog platforms, for revenue. WHAT IS MOVIESCHAIN.? MoviesC
