Would Filmmakers Benefit from a Space Dedicated to BTS Content?
Hey everyone, I wanted to start a discussion around something I’ve been thinking about: the value of behind-the-scenes (BTS) content in filmmaking.
A lot of industries already share their process—photographers break down lighting setups, musicians post raw studio sessions, but for filmmakers, BTS footage often stays exclusive to high-end productions or special features.
I’m curious, would independent filmmakers (at any level) find value in a dedicated space for sharing BTS content? A place to showcase things like:
- Lighting setups & cinematography tricks
- Shot breakdowns & storyboarding processes
- Raw takes & editing choices
- Gear setups & DIY filmmaking hacks
- Crew dynamics & on-set experiences
- Exclusive insights into the filmmaking process
Would a space for this kind of content help filmmakers connect, educate aspiring directors, or even offer new ways to engage with audiences?
For those of you who already share BTS content—what platforms do you use? Would you be interested in a space built specifically for this?
I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or concerns. Thanks in advance for your feedback, and a big shoutout to the mods for allowing me to engage with the community!
