Indie Film Marketing & Reaching your Audience with Chris Nials

Send us Fan Mail#filmmakingpodcast #filmmaking #podcast This week on the podcast I talk to the founder of the Independent Horror Society and filmmaker Chris Nials. Chris started the Independent Horror Society in London as a way for horror lovers to get together and watch Horror movies. It quickly transformed and became more of a hub for filmmakers and people who love horror to connect with the horror creators.Chris is also a producer having worked on a bunch of short films and having recently released 'Walking Against the Rain' . I talked to Chris about the Independent Horror Society, we chatted about his feature film, it was funded through the SEIS scheme in the UK so it was good to quiz him about that and find out the pitfalls and his tips for those of you thinking of doing that yourself. We talked about the feature film, the sales and distribution process. Chris says he has a good Sales Agent, which is something you don't often hear so it was great to quiz him about that. He's also a professional marketeer so it was great to get his tips on how to promote your film, Enjoy!  Watch "Walking Against the Rain" on Prime: https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Against-Rain-Sophia-Eleni/dp/B0B8MSLS1RWatch Jim's movie 'The Apocalypse Box': https://amberpictures.co.uk/the-apocalypse-box/Check out the re-release of Jim's first solo directing feature The Witches Hammer - out now on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B0F235F4T8/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rSupport the showFor regular updates and exclusive content - sign up for The Honest Filmmaker newsletterhttps://thehonestfilmmaker.co.uk/index.php/e-newsletter/Join The Honest Filmmaker community on our Facebook Group or Discord https://thehonestfilmmaker.co.uk/index.php/join-the-community/HONEST, OPEN ADVICE ABOUT YOUR FILMMAKING CAREERAre you about to leave Uni with a filmmaking degree?
