Have you put your film on one of these platforms? How is it working out for you?
It is, and I can’t wait for my next one to be on the platform!
Yes, I have several films on TubiTV, MovieCentral (a RUclips channel) and various other platforms. A filmmaker gets about $7500 for every million views (for that many views it seems a filmmaker should make more than that, but that's where the model is right now). That's based on a 75/25 deal you have with your distributor. Your distributor gets 20-25% of all revenue, so they get about $2500 per million views of your film on TubiTV or other AVOD. So the key situation here is .... Can you drive viewers to your movie parked on Tubi or other platforms (advertising and PR campaigns cost money - is it worth spending money, how much, where do you spend ad money, etc)? Otherwise, how will they find your movie with tens of thousands of other titles on their platform? These are hard questions for all indie filmmakers. Can you build-up fan loyalty for your films? Can you afford to build-up fan loyalty for your films? Every filmmaker needs a PR and marketing person or team - but for most of us, we can't afford effective campaigns.
@@malcolmdwain👍 👍
Yes Tubi and Amazon Prime
Tubi has slowly and patiently built their services over several years. I've watched it for years.
Tubi is are doing better now then they were two years ago. I see more people talking about Tubi on social media than Netflix these days. That surprises me, but I see it.
Only time I seen people talking about Rubi is them making fun of the movies lol
@@Bluespirit12345that's black Twitter. But the door is closing for black independent film makers. Tubi is getting very strict from next year about the quality so its gonna shut out a lot of black folk
@@Bluespirit12345😂🤣🤣🤣 right
Speaking as someone who grew up with video stores, I love Tubi and that they kind of brought back that video store feel again. Where on one end you see all the big titles headlining, but on the other end, you see a smaller movie or show you either heard about but haven't seen or simply the movie cover has you curious.
I'm also glad Tubi is helping out a lot of aspiring and smaller filmmakers. It's way too costly for them to make thousands of DVD/blu ray copies that might not sell and they have no shot of landing on a TV channel. So places like Tubi is basically a TV channel and a video store combined into one.
Yeah ... Netflix and Amazon are super duper gatekeeping. They don't even have an independent films section that'll help.
Yes. Amazon is awful they just kept dropping the pay rate until they just purged films anyway.
But 99% of tubis OG content is modern day blackslpoitation movies that are corny as hell.. Netflix and Amazon has good, quality production value.. most the time
@ultimatesunrise Amazon had just as many bad movies. They still have alot.
@@mikekillagreen9432 you mean you didn't like Velocipastor?!
@@ultimatesunrise 😂😂
Netflix does the same thing Amazon does to authors. It’s always better to stay independent.
What advice do you have for an author who was thinking about putting their book on Amazon? What other route would you recommend? I just finished a book and was thinking about putting it on Amazon.
Tubi is a lot better than Netflix, except for ads. I hate ads! Every time an ad comes on I always turn my TV off or down until I know for sure the ads are over.
Tubi is actually becoming widely known now
Thank you for dropping these gems 💎 🙏🏾
How calm do u want a voice to be? Him: yes 😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much Ramon for explaining about the movie streaming industry. I have never heard about Tubi. As an amateur I agree that these days audio can make or break a movie. I pay close attention to the quality of sound in a movie regardless if it is music, the weather, or human voice. I am under the impression that sound in the movie can also help determine the mood of the characters and in general what is about to happen in the movie
He is 100% correct audio makes or breaks a movie. Because I rarely say a movie is bad or horrible because that is just one person's opinion. But I say that the movie Tooth Queen of pain is the worst movie I ever bought. It's seriously horrible because it has beyond horrible audio in the movie. I mean like 4 people in a small room an they are all speaking in a normal voice vellum. But you can only hear two of them clearly an it sounds like the other two are barely whispering. When they are all next to one another how do you mess up the audio that bad. You basically only hear like 40% of the movie the clearest audio is when someone is listening to a voice on a phone or a radio. Then you can understand every single word perfectly. But out side of that good luck being able to hear what the actors an actress are actually saying. It's like that throughout the entire movie the audio is completely garbage. The only reason I know the plot of the movie is because of bits and pieces over the radio. So I tell people that movie is truly horrible because of its horrible audio. Then say it's not really worth the time to watch it because you can barely hear an understand anything that they are saying in the movie. By the way on the DVD their is no subtitles option so you can't even read what they are saying.
TUBI helped me endure a lot of drama, during a rough time in 2021. Tv shows like: Eddie Murphy's ridiculously, stereotypically-offensive...late 1990's claymation series, "The PJs" (so bad...but funny as hell. And I'm from NYC project housing🤣 ).
And oh, my goodness. Horror movies like the "VHS" anthology...."As Above, So Below".....and I recently (after avoiding it, for several years) watched and enjoyed "Doctor Sleep". Yeah, they have the cheesy, Blaxploitation films....and they aggressively push "everything gay and lesbian" films....but, you can find a lot of well-known sci-fi, horror and comedy films. Including those you may have skipped, years ago (like me).
I can endure the agenda-driven advertisements....for all the free content.
Glad to see another episode from Ramon 🔥
Tubi is the REAL DEAL.
DON'T SELL THE COMPANY DON'T CHANGE IT. THE FUTURE IS YOURS.
Tubi is owned by the Fox Corporation. The Murdoch family side, not the 20th Century Fox owned by Disney. Tubi is NOT Black owned. They just see the dollars in 21st century Blaxploitation, which is what it is....
Good info and advice Swift!
Great info!
To my surprise, there are a lot of nice Tubi Originals. And I'm definitely glad to see the platform benefiting minority filmmakers and performers.
Great interviews
I enjoy Tubi! I don’t have NF or Hulu anymore. I check Tubi just as often as I do Prime. There’s a wide range of options. I’m partial to shark movies and there are so many😁.
Plus as he’s explaining, I can see how it is a good platform for newbies to get a foot in and maybe learn how to navigate with a smaller scale that may not be too overwhelming. Similar to how the videos on FC explain making shorts.
It’s come a long way and I truly mean this sincerely, but I don’t mind AVOD ads if I can “gamble” on a couple of movies during the day while I wfh.
I love this channel!
Good information
I’m not saying to watch it. But I discovered the film “Terrifier” in Tubi.
This was Dope!
Thank you to Mr. Sloan for imparting such excellent wisdom.
Divine timing
I love watching independent flicks in Tubi
Me too.😊😊
@@SkyownerRocks Same here. There's just something passionate about them that always has me overlooking whatever cheap budget it might be operating at.
I’m gonna check CIRCUMSTANCES
Tubi def a threat right now … I can see it taking over and surpassing Netflix.
It will take them a while, but free ad base streaming is definitely growing. They've surpassed and is making more money than standard TV as evidence by Tubi's earning reports. Heck here in Canada, PlutoTV has one of it's best success stories after only 1 year being available in Canada. The platform is currently getting over a billion total minutes watched monthly in Canada alone.
Tubi has a terrible rep as far as quality though, maybe that will turn around
I was thinking to myself, Tubi and those memes though. 😂 I don't know I think it's hit or miss right now. You gotta really be passionate about new artists and supporting their work. Those wigs and that guy playing Jesus though smh. Imma wait a few years 😂
I'm waiting on a black Jesus movie from Netflix
Tubi and alot of the free streaming services operate from a "trickle effect" type economy. Basically the good quality and better films and shows attracts people to the service. For example they currently have the Robocop films and the first 2 Terminator films on it and a few months ago had various DC films with the most noticeable one being Batman vs Superman. However they also have a ton of excess content that's meant to get people curious to try out something new or something they heard about, but never watched until now. Apparently it legit does has some success.
Plus you know what they say "everyone has to start somewhere". Very few new filmmakers get lucky with that multi-million dollar budget movie. Most would be lucky to a movie with just $100,000. So places like Tubi is a good way to let smaller filmmakers get a start on that career.
But knowing economies of scale, sooner or later, TUBI will activate quality control and a lot of Black filmmakers will get cut out. They're gonna have favoured Black production companies capable of making network TV quality movies and cut out the home made stuff.
Seeing Tubi rise and grow has been strangely fascinating.
I am little bit interested in film industry I love to write and become a big actor and be educat myself how production works
Baki, One Piece and Kengan Ashura are on Netflix so I'll stick with them. Yujiro vs Baki arc it was perfect... perfect down to the last minute detail.
Truth!
Tubi is crap because they think they are slick view more and you will see the same movie display multi times as if they have more movies.
At least people have altenative, Netflix has been monopolizing streaming service for the whole decade which is why Netflix became lazy. The only issues with tubi is the quality is still not there, too many dumb script and acting
tubi is great,
NETFLIX has a higher quality standard
HE'S A PERFECT LOOKALIKE OF FAMOUS WESTINDIES CRICKETER BRIAN LARA. SIMILARITIES ARE SO INSANE.....
I’m seriously considering canceling Netflix for Tubi. Tubi has way more movies categories I like than Netflix. I’m a huge fan of paranormal movies, strange events,true events, western especially black western, apocalyptic and situational dramas which Netflix is lacking. Even Fawesome have some decent flux’s from time to time. I barely watch Netflix since I discovered Tubi and Fawesome.
Fox bought Tubi that’s why it’s blowing up
It was the best investment they made. Legit makes them over a billion dollars a year and is making them more money than all the other Fox channels combined.
...Tubi?
As much as I love independent movie, I don't give a damn about another platform
Tubi has NOTHING to do with strong storylines. The films on that platform are evidence of what happens when there are absolutely no gatekeepers. True it opens up doors for filmmakers who cant get their films on a Netflix or Amazon or Hulu but there is a massive downside to it
What is it?
@@BREEZE247able In my opinion, it is very easy for your film to get lost in the cesspool of films on that site becaue Tubi is all about quantity over quality. You have to have a STRONG marketing/PR plan to get your film seen over all the trash that they dump on that site, not to mention the negative connotation that will be attached to your film, sight unseen, simply because of tubis reputation of the quality of films that they put on their site as opposed to a Netflix or a Hulu. Im not saying it cant be done, but it is difficult
