Welcome to Filmmaking Stuff, where you will receive tips and strategies on how to make, market and sell your movie without the middleman.
My name is Jason Brubaker. Over the last decade, I have worked professionally in the film industry.
In addition to producing my own feature films, I have spent the last five years working in film distribution. I have helped hundreds of independent filmmakers get their movies seen and selling in popular video on demand marketplaces.
Filmmaking Stuff provides resources for independent filmmakers.
The website includes filmmaking articles on how to take a story idea from script to screen, including articles on scriptwriting, producing, film finance, shooting, editing, directing, marketing, distribution and how to build an audience.
Here are popular filmmaking articles that sum up our philosophy:
- Modern Moviemaking Manifesto
- How To Finance Films with VOD Sales Projections
- Thoughts on Film School
- My Story: How Jason Brubaker got Started in Filmmaking
- 7 Steps for Selling Your Movie Online

Our motto is “Make, Market and Sell Your Movie Without The Middle-Man.” The reason for this is simple. The future of filmmaking is not Hollywood. It is the thousands of independent filmmakers empowered by the digital revolution.
