Movie lover’s don’t recognize boundaries between Hollywood hits, unsung indies and viral clips on YouTube, they just want to watch a good movie but how do you find them?
My greatest frustration with our site or any site for that matter is search and discovery. If I am looking for a particular film it’s a piece of cake. However when I’m in the mood for a good movie to watch at home I am at a loss. I don’t know where to start.
I see a lot of films, as a juror, filmmaker and CEO of IndieFlix it’s my job. When it comes to recommending films to others that’s easy too. But what about finding films for myself? I don’t want another profile. I don’t want to make new friends on another site that will recommend films to me. I don’t care about most popular or most watched because I don’t know those people. I do value comments to a degree but by the time I’ve watched trailers, read comments, checked out profiles and weeded through the recommendations based on purchase; I’m burnt out. I don’t care if it’s a studio film, indie or UGC I just want a movie that I am going to like. I don’t care if the masses label it a good story or if critics panned it.
I eat, dress, choose my music and movies based on my mood. I guess that’s why I love Pandora.com. It’s the only site that I am aware of where I can discover music and listen for free based on my mood. I don’t have to have friends. My profile is basically my email and I discover new music everyday. So, I’ve set the mandate to build IndieFlix to be the Pandora of independent film. Looking forward to updating you all on this endeavor.
What are some good sites or tools for discovering film?
