WHAT TO INCLUDE ON YOUR WEBSITE – AS A FILMMAKER
Sure, an IMDb listing is great! But if you’re an indie filmmaker building their career, it’s a good idea to create a website to establish your digital presence and provide a home that showcases all of your work and skills.
Websites like Squarespace, WIX, and Web.com have economical templated options that are easy to put together, maintain, and update. You can easily build a simple, informative website with their built-in tools.
Here are the basics you should include:
"About" section, aka your bio (include headshot/action shot)
