FilmFestJunkie is about empowering filmmakers from around the world and helping their work gain further exposure!

Filmmakers keep their rights, sharing in profits, create unity, and share their work on a global level.

It is our goal to help filmmakers help themselves in this new world of distribution while bringing independent film to the global audience.

FilmFestJunkie's goal is to eliminate the need for the distributor when screening films on-line.

It is FFJ's mission to create a filmmaker friendly online environment which allows filmmakers and actors alike to start profiting off their work. Currently, filmmakers cannot offer their work for commercial purposes until after expenses are paid. We are working with SAG to create a more relevant system which works in today's world thereby allowing filmmakers to pay SAG actors and be paid without the need to surrender their film to distributors.

If filmmakers were able to keep their rights and allow SAG actors to get paid along when money was made a new system would be created which would keep films from being shelved or sold for undesirable prices. Rather, it would allow the artists work to be seen while creating an immediate and potentially long-term stream of income for both the filmmaker and the actors involved in the project.

We want good films on the market. The best way to do this is to create access and direct streams of income for the artists involved. By financially empowering filmmakers and actors we can help ensure a system which brings independent films to people all over the world!

I will create FFJ with or without the help of others. It would make my life easier if I knew you were behind me and I wasn't totally alone in my endeavor to create and mold an new distribution model for filmmakers. I would appreciate it if you let me know you care and that this is important to you. The minimum bid is $1. I will do it anyway... because I want good films out there and I want the artists involved to gain financially from their efforts and to continue to create films I want to see. Still, it's a lot of work and I could use the encouragement.

May you all enjoy your holidays and may you continue making such wonderful films that I am so fortunate to see. I will do my best to help filmmakers gain a broader global market and financial security so that we may all ensure the purity and longevity of independent film!

As far as the rewards go, we will help each and every filmmaker we work with to the fullest of our ability with or without your financial encouragement. The rewards are generous and meant to bring smiles to the faces of those who receive them. I hope I have the opportunity to make you smile!
