What is LUCID?

LUCID is by filmmakers, for filmmakers, writers, and creators who are tired of waiting for YES.

Making a film is one of the most collaborative and expensive art forms on the planet. And there’s more to it than just making the film; it’s a full business, and every aspect of it requires specialized knowledge.

This newsletter is designed to help show you the ins and outs of making a film—not just the mechanics—but the business of it.

We’ll be covering:

  • Business planning

  • Market research

  • Finding your niche audience

  • Approaching investors

  • Creative ways to finance your film

  • Finding or creating your own distribution channels

  • Navigating the legal side of the film industry

  • And a whole lot more
