Our Spiritual Adventure was birthed out of the collaboration of the 1st Bootstrap Film Festival. Fellow Bootstrap filmmaker/entrepreneur, Jason Howell and I discovered a synergy when putting together the festival. In preparation for the event we talked for hours about Bootstrapping, Films, Distribution and how it all comes together. We began to compile our ideas into a book titled, Bootstrap Film, which we are continuing to build upon.
We shared ideas about projects that we wanted to work on and between my creative vision and his web solution skills, OurSpiritualAdventure was born. We both understand that distribution is one of the most important pieces of the filmmaking process and it is the part that most often leads to the failure of most independent film projects.
We felt that it was critical to build an audience first, provide value for them, and get their input and have them involved with the process. Once an audience is established then the funding and the distribution will be much easier. It will also put us in a more powerful place when ready for distribution, if we can say that we have a particular number of fans willing to see the film.
I recently heard a talk at a Reel Women meeting with guest speaker, Sarah Green. She is the producer for Terrence Malick's most recent film, Tree of Life. She shared with us that the key to independent film was about minimizing the risk.
