THE FILMMAKER REVENUE BLUEPRINT
Build the Audience, Revenue & Business Strategy Behind Your Film
A 3-Hour Interactive Workshop with
Filmmaker & Educator Landi Maduro
Saturday, September 26 | 10 AM–1 PM | $97
Presented in conjunction with the Compton Hub City International Film Festival
You made the film. You spent the money. Now…how are you going to make it back?
And better yet:
How can your film actually make a PROFIT?
You can make a great film. Get into festivals. Win awards. Even land distribution—and still find yourself wondering:
Where's the money?
That doesn't mean your film failed. And it definitely doesn't mean it's too late. But it does mean you need a strategy.
In The Filmmaker Revenue Blueprint, we'll take a fresh look at your film and explore how your audience, positioning, relationships, intellectual property, and revenue opportunities can work together to help you build the business behind it.
Whether your film is still an idea, in production, screening at festivals, or already released, bring it with you.
Your film may have opportunities you haven't considered yet. Let's find them.

Bring Your Film. We're Working on YOUR Project.
Why Audience Building Matters for Filmmakers
Here’s the part no one explains clearly:
Distribution is not a strategy. It’s a delivery system.
(Yes… I’m going to keep saying that until the industry catches up.)
If you don’t already have an audience, you’re placing your film into a crowded marketplace, hoping someone scrolls past and stops.
This workbook helps you flip that. Instead of chasing attention, you start building it, on purpose.
Your Film Isn't Finished When Your Festival Run Is.
And if you haven't made your film yet, even better. I teach something called pre-preproduction, thinking about your audience, business, and potential revenue before you spend all the money making the movie.
But if your film is already finished, you are not too late. There may be opportunities around your audience, partnerships, screenings, licensing, products, experiences, and intellectual property that you've never explored.
We'll start identifying those possibilities and learn how to move from:
IDEAS → PRIORITIES → ACTION → DATA → ADJUST
What You'll Walk Away With
By the end of the workshop, you'll have begun developing a Revenue Blueprint for your own film, with greater clarity around your:
Audience • Positioning • Revenue Opportunities • Audience Bridges • Partnerships • Next Steps
Most importantly, you'll leave looking at your film differently, and with a clearer idea of what to do next.
We'll Start Working Through
AUDIENCE → POSITIONING → REVENUE → ECOSYSTEM → EXECUTION
You'll explore:
-
Who your film is really for and why they'll care
-
How to position your film so it stands out
-
Where to find and build relationships with your audience
-
Potential Audience Bridges and strategic partners
-
Revenue opportunities beyond traditional distribution
-
How your film and intellectual property could create additional value
-
Which ideas are actually worth your time and money
We'll also look at how AI can help you research, challenge assumptions, and uncover opportunities without doing all the thinking for you.
Because you don't need 40 billion revenue ideas. You need to know which ones make sense for YOUR film.
