You are thinking about it all wrong, friend.

The First Rule Of Indie is...

I tried to keep it to five, but today I have ten points to ponder. Ready, set, go!

Please help us bring INVISIBLE NATION to 11 US theaters on 11/11!

If you, your family, friends, loved ones, heck — anyone! — believe in democracy, female leadership, peace, autonomy, great cinema, and non-dependent distribution here’s your chance to make something happen. One night only! 11/11/24

We are attempting to reach new audiences in America with our film. And we have just the way to do it. But it will only work with your help. GATHR is a remarkable tool for all filmmakers, featuring a “Pay It Forward” option where you can buy tickets for those that can’t afford them. You don’t even have to be in the same city. Give it a try and buy a ticket today. If this works for us, it can work for others. We have only about two weeks to demonstrate there are audiences for this film. If we don’t sell enough tickets, the screenings won’t happen.

But if you do make it happen, you can trust us to share all we learn with you. Because that’s what we are doing here on HopeForFilm. Plus GATHR is a pretty beautiful tool that you should check out. It’s come a long way!

And for those of you in AMPAS’ doc branch, you can also find our film in the Academy Screening Room!

Indie Film is about careers, not projects
