Today I’m talking to Filmmaker Jason Horton. Jason has a lot of credits both documentary and fiction features. He’s also a bit of a guru when it comes to online aggregators like film hub and indie rights.
His tag line is "I make movies that make money” which is actually a bold claim at the micro budget end. So I wanted to dig into the methods of distribution he uses, his advice for low and micro budget filmmakers and some things to avoid. Enjoy!
