MARC ROSENBUSH is an independent filmmaker based in Los Angeles, currently developing several feature film projects through his company, Lightwheel Entertainment. His first feature, Zen Noir, won numerous festival awards before receiving a limited theatrical release in 2006. Prior to the release of the film, Marc was also a leading Internet Marketing consultant, most notably for the Spiritual Cinema Circle DVD club, which he helped build up to more than 20,000 monthly subscribers and millions of dollars in annual income. Because of his unique marketing background, Marc chose to self-release the Zen Noir DVD through a sophisticated grassroots Internet Marketing campaign that brought in more than $40,000 in the first two days, before going on to sell thousands of DVDs in just a few weeks. Following Zen Noir's extraordinary success, Marc was approached by hundreds of filmmakers wanting to learn how they could achieve similar results for themselves. To meet this demand, Marc recently launched his revolutionary online course, Internet Marketing for Filmmakers, which has already been hailed as "the missing link in independent film education."
Dreamscape Studios was conceived to EMPOWER independent filmmakers to take control of their careers.
Dreamscape helps independent filmmakers get their projects funded by providing them film financing solutions at seminars like this one, in private consulting sessions and by creating high-impact multimedia presentation packages for investors that powerfully communicate what their project is while providing the necessary business documents to assure financiers a film project is viable. Our team can consult the first time filmmaker all the way to the executive producer seeking to protect and maximize the return on their investment. Occasionally, the company seeks financing for clientsâ?? projects from its rapidly growing network of equity investors. In addition, we cut feature film trailers along with creating and implementing independent film marketing plans.

From the Desk of Alexander Vickers,
President, Dreamscape Studios
Dear Filmmaker:
Congratulations. You've already done the hardest part. You're one of those rare filmmakers who's actually completed a short film, documentary or feature.
But what happened then?
- Did you complete a feature or documentary only to find the distributors weren't interested?
- Did you spend thousands of dollars and years of your life making a film that's now just sitting on a shelf gathering dust?
- Did you make a short or a series of shorts only to realize that traditional distributors think there's no market for shorts?
- Did you make a great student film only to end up working a day job you can't stand?
If you've experienced any of the above scenarios, then keep reading, because this is for YOU...
You have an amazing film, you know there's an audience out there that would love to see it. Everyone who believed in you - your investors, lenders, production team, friends and family - is wondering what you're going to do to make your film successful.
But you don't just owe it to them, you owe it to yourself to get your film out there and...
Make Your Money Back!
Statistically speaking, you have less than a 1/2% chance of getting your film distributed by traditional means. It's ugly, but that's the reality of the business these days.
The sad irony is cool new technology like Final Cut Pro made it possible for you to make your film -- but at a heavy price. ANYONE can make a film now, but traditional distributors can still only handle a tiny number of films per year, so a glut of product overwhelmed the market.
The myth that traditional distribution is your only solution is the number one thing holding you back from getting your seen by thousands of people. You've been wasting time marketing to distributors, when the real money is in the hands of the people you made your film for in the first place-- your audience.
The Internet is creating a new class of filmmakers who are truly independent, making the films they want to make, and distributing them to loyal audiences they built themselves and who anxiously await each of their releases.
To be one of these filmmakers yourself, the first thing you need to do is...
Embrace a New Paradigm
MARC ROSENBUSH is an unusual hybrid -- a visionary, award-winning independent filmmaker who also happens to be a leading expert in cutting-edge Internet Marketing techniques.
And he has the secret formula you need to know to get your film out to thousands of people...
While he was making his not-exactly-mainstream first feature, ZEN NOIR (a surreal Buddhist murder mystery), Marc paid the bills by working as a high-level Internet Marketing consultant, most notably helping build the Spiritual Cinema Circle DVD-of-the-month club up to more than 20,000 monthly members and millions of dollars in annual income.
But when Marc finished ZEN NOIR, even though it got some great reviews and won a bunch of festival awards, nearly every distributor who looked at the film said: "No way." "Unsellable." "Too obscure a niche." "Too weird." "No stars." "Nobody will pay to see this."
Not about to let his $100K+ investment go to waste, Marc started thinking...
- What if he released the film himself?
- What if he took all of his years of experience in Internet Marketing and applied them to the release of his film?
- What if he took the most sophisticated techniques he knew (including one that huge publishing companies use to get books to the top of the Amazon bestseller list in ONE DAY) and used them to launch his film?
Remember, the distributors said this was a film with no chance for success. But what the big boys wrote off as an obscure, insignificant niche, Marc saw as a MARKET.
Using what he knew, Marc launched the DVD online in late 2006.
More than a million emails went out to targeted potential buyers, and ZEN NOIR made...
$40,000 in DVD Sales
in the First 48 Hours!
The film went on to sell thousands of copies over the next few weeks. Two years later, ZEN NOIR continues to sell, and now there are foreign deals on the table that wouldn't even have been possible without the success of the online release. Most importantly, Marc is building a huge database of all the people who have bought the DVD and visited the website - his fanbase, with whom he can communicate directly, and who will be the first people to know about (and buy) his next film.
Now It's YOUR Turn!
On October 11-12, 2008, for the first time ever, Marc will conduct an intensive two-day Live Master Class at UCLA that will get you OUT of the distribution rat race and put YOU in control of your film's future.
To give you an idea of how big a deal this is, you need to understand that Marc regularly turns down lucrative consulting gigs in order to focus his time and energy on getting his next film made. And true to form, when I first approached him about doing this event for Dreamscape, he turned me down as well.
But after months of me begging him, what finally convinced Marc was his own sense of responsibility. A lot of people are talking in general terms about how filmmakers should be using teh web to sell their films. But NO ONE else is teaching what Marc knows, and these are techniques and concepts that every independent filmmaker must learn if they're serious about getting their work seen.
Although Marc is a terrific presenter, he's never offered a comprehensive live course before and he may never do so again. As I said, Marc would much rather be making films (and the thousands of people who bought ZEN NOIR would prefer that, too).
When Marc was a guest speaker at Dreamscape's Get Your Film Funded seminar back in March, I got to watch as the lightbulbs went off for 300+ filmmakers, when they suddenly got it, and saw that they really could buck the system and get their films out into the world, get them seen by thousands of people, and make their money back.
And that was just in a short, half-hour presentation...
But YOU will get to spend TWO FULL DAYS with Marc, learning EVERYTHING he knows...
AT THIS EXTRAORDINARY, ONE-OF-A-KIND EVENT, YOU WILL LEARN:
|
But this isn't just your typical drone drone, lecture lecture seminar, with a whole a bunch of speakers just barely touching on their topics. The whole weekend will JUST be Marc, teaching you EVERYTHING he knows about selling your film online. On top of which, MAKE YOUR MONEY BACK will be a fully INTERACTIVE event, with live Q&As, Case Studies, Multimedia Demonstrations, plus...
Hot Seats!
|
Marc will invite filmmakers from the audience (this could be YOU) up on stage to put them in the HOT SEAT, helping them discover the true selling points of their films -- the motivating factors that will make visitors to their websites become buyers. Marc will analyze and suggest improvements for participants' websites LIVE on a big screen and show you point by point how to turn your site into a powerful selling tool. Best of all, Marc will go LIVE onto the web to show you EXACTLY how to identify niche audiences for your film, how to find PARTNERS with huge email lists in those niche markets, and how to make deals with those partners to send massive numbers of buyers to your site. |
YOU WILL LEAVE THIS UNIQUE TWO-DAY EVENT WITH...
|
FREE BONUSES...
We want to make sure that you get as much value as is humanly possible out of this experience, so in addition to the complete Two Day Master Class, you also get:
- FREE LIFETIME ACCESS to Marc's revolutionary online course, Internet Marketing For Filmmakers. This ever-growing course sells like hotcakes every day but you can have it free just for attending. ($500 value)
- FREE AUDIO CD of Dreamscape's Get YOUR Film Funded 2008, a two-day film financing course featuring Louise Levison, Stacey Parks, Bianca Bezdek, Corky Kessler and other top film consultants. ($450 value).
That's $950 in bonuses, above and beyond the life-changing value of the event itself.
INCREDIBLE VALUE...
Marc spent years of his life and more than $60,000 learning everything he knows about Internet Marketing. Outside the film industry, a seminar of this nature would cost $2,500-10,000 (or more). To learn this stuff from Marc one-on-one would cost you $5,000 or more. And to hire Marc or someone like him to do your marketing for you would cost tens of thousands of dollars.
But YOU can get EVERYTHING listed above and walk away with a fully executable Online Marketing Plan for your film for only $997.
EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT...
Register by September 21st to SAVE $300 and get the entire Two-Day Master Class, Lifetime Access to Marc's Internet Marketing for Filmmakers online course and the Get Your Film Funded Audio CD, for just $697.

Alexander Vickers
Dreamscape Studios
P.S. We've chosen a venue with limited seating capacity this time around. If you're serious about taking your career to the next level, you need to register now because we can't promise that seats will be available once our partner organizations open up the flood gates and start letting their members know about this.
Once again, this promises to be a one-of-a-kind, life-changing event, and I look forward to meeting you.
We will never give your email address to anyone for any reason, ever.
"Marc's course is the MISSING LINK for independent filmmakers! Finally, a step by step process to create something I've been imagining for 10 years."
Scott Cervine,Independent Filmmaker
"I have never seen a more complete blueprint for selling an independent film online. This course is extremely comprehensive in its coverage of internet marketing strategies. I highly recommend this course to filmmakers who want to start self-distributing their film online and who are looking to make SALES."
Stacey Parks,Independent Film Consultant/Sales Agent
"As a filmmaker, all you really want is for people to see your film and to be compensated for it. Marc’s techniques show you how to tap into niche markets for your films on your own. For the first time ever, there’s a source to get all the information you could ever need on how to really do it yourself and I am so grateful for this gift."
Karen Lavender,
Independent Filmmaker
"The quality of the speakers at the Dreamscape film funding seminar was stellar. These people are at the core of the business, have done it successfully for years and know exactly how and what any given project is going to need to make it into that rarified place of actually getting a green light, today, the indie way."
David Sonnenschein
Author "Sound Design: The Expressive Power of Music, Voice and Sound Effects in Cinema"
"This course is a clear, intelligent and much needed avenue to help filmmakers who are not able to get the interest and support their film deserves through the usual festival/distribution models. As an observer and participant in the independent film world for almost 25 years I can attest to the profound changes that have occurred over the years and how increasingly difficult it is for many worthy films to realize their full potential and reach the audience that is waiting for them. I encourage you to check this program out. It might just bring you the success you never dreamed possible."
Robert Hawk,Independent Film Consultant and Producer
"This course should be required for both filmmakers and anyone looking to make money on the Internet. I can't imagine a better marriage between filmmaking and online promotion. I don't know which is more exciting: the number of films that will get more viewers and attract more attention than ever before thanks to Marc's course, or the number of filmmakers who will be able to stop waiting tables and eating Ramen Noodles because they'll have a way to generate real profits from their work."
Steven Sashen,filmmaker, creator of Scriptware screenwriting software
"I applaud the launch of this vital new course, the only one of its kind. This course will lead indie filmmakers toward the ultimate goal of reaching a wider audience with their films. I highly recommend indie filmmakers and producers to be among the first to take this unique online course, and get ahead of the Hollywood game! Marc did it, and you can, too!"
Elizabeth English,Founder & Executive Director, Moondance Intl. Film Festival
"Marc made an odd, metaphysical independent film. Then, using his understanding of Internet marketing, sold thousands of copies of the DVD WITHOUT A DISTRIBUTOR! Who says nobody makes money in Independent Film? This course not only shows you clearly, distinctly and step-by-step how he accomplished this monumental feat, but how YOU can do the same thing for YOUR movie. Actually, you could probably use his procedures and techniques to sell almost any artistic endeavor on-line. Personally, I think he has way undervalued the course and have told him so. I say get it before he wises up and raises the price!"
Geoff Hoff,Co-author of the best selling comic novel "Weeping Willow: Welcome to River Bend"
"Marc's course is exactly what independent filmmakers have been needing for years. You owe it both to your film and yourself to master this vital information and take control of your career."
Jacques Thelemaque,Independent Filmmaker, President of Filmmakers Alliance
"What Marc teaches is the solution I was looking for to get the film I had worked on for two years out to the people who would want to buy it. Distributors said no one would buy film adaptations of the Classics done with puppets, but I knew there was an audience and Marc’s system is helping me reach them."
Steven Barr,Independent Filmmaker
"The seminars you produce are first-rate and your advice has been invaluable in getting my latest project, The Vision Quest, launched. Every independent filmmaker should read your free report."
Deborah M. Pratt,
Co-Executive Producer / Head Writer of TV's Quantum Leap
" Like every other indie producer, I've been persistent and passionate about my project. I've attended film finance seminars such as IIFF, gone through numerous books and networked with several successful filmmakers and entertainment attorney's. However, I have yet to hear the substance that you have given me regarding film financing. Thanks for your assistance! I'll do my best to support your efforts in serving artists such as myself that are working so hard to overcome what at times seems like an overwhelming task."
Bert Hickson
Producer
"Dreamscape Team -- Your seminars and advice have been a blessing and worth every penny. Thank you for all your help and guidance. In my eyes, you're becoming the champion of the independent filmmaker."
