how does an indie horror filmmaker get started?
 

i have been toiling with the idea of maybe someday in my life becoming an indie horror filmmaker. i was wondering where one begins. where should one start?

make a movie

First you have to come up with an idea. You can come up with something that has never been done before or you can always just make a wood's movie. Kid's getting slaughtered in the wood's NEVER gets old unless Hollywood had something to do with it. I suggest you make it look like it was made in the 80's but what do I know? Well, anyway yeah! get an idea...make a script....get money unless your not going to have a budget...get actors....make the movies edit it and promote it show it and if they like it put it on dvd and sell them. That's how I do it.

One more thing..You can pass out some free ones and people will tell people aout it...Word of mouth...works great to promote....
