So, your film is on Hoodox?
Congrats! …now what?
Welcome to our filmmaker toolkit. This page is intended to provide you with everything you need to promote your film, Hoodox, and the Indiana film industry at-large. Hoodox and its mission will only be as strong as the community we build around it. So, sharing with your network makes a major contribution to our collective efforts. If you’re also wondering, “What’s in it for me?” there are a few really good reasons to promote your work on Hoodox:
1. Association with Hoodox and our streaming library has been shown to have a positive effect on viewers’ perception of the films and filmmakers! Think of it like guilty by association, but in a good way.
2. Keeping your film top of mind for viewers and other filmmakers keeps you top of mind for potential future projects.
3. Encouraging your network to subscribe to Hoodox builds support (including financial) for our industry as a whole, enabling Hoodox to continue elevating the perception of Indiana filmmaking.
