If you want to sell your film directly, consider platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Vimeo On Demand, or even your own website.

Amazon Prime Video: A Game Changer for Haitian Filmmakers

These services allow you to charge for rentals or digital downloads, giving you full control over pricing.

Here are some things to consider to make this happen:

1 - Promote Your Film Aggressively on Social Media

Just uploading your film to a VOD platform isn't enough--you need to drive traffic to it.

Use Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and even WhatsApp to share trailers, behind-the-scenes content, and audience testimonials.

Create buzz by posting countdowns and engaging with potential viewers in the comments. The more people know about your film, the better your chances of making sales.

2 - Offer Limited-Time Discounts to Drive Initial Sales

People love a good deal! When launching your film on a VOD platform, consider offering a special discount for the first few days.

This can encourage early purchases and boost your rankings on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Vimeo On Demand.

A well-timed discount can also lead to word-of-mouth promotion, increasing long-term sales.

3 - Consider Dubbing or Subtitling in English and French to Reach a Larger Audience

The more people who can understand your film, the better. If your film is in Haitian Creole, adding English and French subtitles can significantly expand your audience.

You can even dub your film in another language if possible. Platforms like Rev.com and Amara.org make it easy to add subtitles, and this small investment can open doors to international markets.
