The growing number of film festivals each year has provided independent filmmakers a new venue to showcase their films. Many independent films have been picked up and distributed by large studios as a result of these festivals. Independent filmmakers are now faced with the struggles of getting their film noticed by festival committees. This is why many filmmakers are utilizing video uploading sites to create a buzz for their productions.
When filmmakers upload their shorts or trailers on Finditt Videos they get the advantage of attracting a world-wide audience. Finditt Videos can become a filmmaker’s stepping stone to film festivals and studio deals down the road. By bringing your production to the people you can capitalize on the publicity it draws.
Later this month Robert Redford will be having his annual Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Over the years the popularity of Sundance has increased so much so, that many A-list Actors now show up to not just view these Independent Films but star in and produce them. This can make it even harder for new artists to break into the film industry. The influx of Hollywood heavyweights at independent film festivals can lead to lesser known actors, directors, and producers being left out. Finditt Videos offers all independent filmmakers the audience their production deserves.
Over the past two decades films like Pulp Fiction with John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, and Samuel L. Jackson; The Usual Suspects with Kevin Spacey, Benicio Del Toro, and Stephen Baldwin; Memento with Guy Pearce and Carrie-Anne Moss; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Elijah Wood, and Kirsten Dunst; Se7en with Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, and Gwyneth Paltrow; American History X with Edward Norton and Edward Furlong; Hotel Rwanda with Don Cheadle and Nick Nolte; Crash with Sandra Bullock, Tony Danza, and Matt Dillon; Sling Blade with Billy Bob Thornton and John Ritter; and Reservoir Dogs with Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi and Harvey Keitel have come from independent writers. These films went on to win awards, gain box-office gold, and launch careers.
Most of these films didn’t have the advantage of video uploading sites to create publicity for their films or the actors in them. This is the advantage created by Finditt Videos. In addition to uploading a short or trailer, independent filmmakers can create a profile page that details their project, their past films, festivals that have shown their film, just about anything that helps to promote their art.

As a filmmaker it is important to make your projects accessible and easy to find for viewers.

With the marketing tools Finditt has to offer Producers, actors and writers can now create their own ad campaign for a budget under $500.00 to have people find the video available for them to watch.
