You’ve poured time, money, and creative energy into your work. Where should you publish your videos so they truly count? Today, filmmakers have the choice of two paths: Streaming platforms that offer curated, subscription-based spaces for audiences to watch long-form projects. Social media platforms that offer open, algorithm-driven spaces where anyone can upload and potentially […]

When I put on my “Raindance goggles,” the world looks a little different. Every advert I see becomes a filmmaking lesson. And lately, the lesson isn’t a pretty one: advertising has fallen headfirst into what I call the pornification trap. We’ve all seen it.

They can research and follow brands, ensuring that they align with their values, provide accountability and transparency, and care about customer questions and concerns. Often, this comes in the form of video marketing. Videos rose to popularity because they […]

Do you have any YouTube hacks? We’ve all done it. Welcome to the club. But here’s the secret the pros don’t tell you: the difference between 78 views […]
