BPS 361: How to Squeeze Money Out of Your Indie Film with Patrick Solomon

Today on the show we have filmmaker and Filmtrepreneur Patrick
Solomon. Patrick is the mastermind behind the celebrated film
Finding Joe.Finding Joe is an exploration of famed Mythologist
Joseph Campbell's studies and their continuing impact on our
culture. Through interviews with visionaries from a variety of
fields interwoven with enactments of classic tales by a sweet and
motley group of kids, the film navigates the stages of what
Campbell dubbed The Hero's Journey: the challenges, the fears, the
dragons, the battles, and the return home as a changed person."WE
MUST BE WILLING TO GET RID OF THE LIFE WE'VE PLANNED SO AS TO
HAVE THE LIFE THAT IS WAITING FOR US" - JOSEPH CAMPBELL

Rooted in deeply personal accounts and timeless stories, Finding
Joe shows how Campbell's work is relevant and essential in today's
world and how it provides a narrative for how to live a fully
realized life-or as Campbell would simply state, how to "follow
your bliss".I saw Finding Joe years ago and it just blew me away.
This is why I was so excited to include the film in the IFHTV
Streaming Service. Patrick and I sit down and discuss his film, his
distribution journey, and how he used the Filmtrepreneur method to
squeeze every drop of revenue out of the film.

Enjoy my conversation with Patrick Solomon.
