A Truly Independent Film Studio
“True revolution comes from true revulsion; when things get bad enough, the kitten will kill the lion.” — Charles Bukowski, from his poem ‘The People’
The landscape of independent film has historically been dominated by works which are ‘independent’ in name only, covertly (or overtly) being made by, or in conjunction with, the corrupt and propagandistic entertainment industry.
Our mission at KILL THE LION FILMS is to put an end to that fraudulent paradigm. We do this by making the biggest and best truly independent films we can, showing the world exactly what independent film can and should be.
Since 2011, we have produced and released over 24 truly independent feature-length films, and we always have plenty more on the way. We specialize in making intelligent and entertaining films which push the art form of film to new and exciting heights, even at low budgets. We operate entirely outside of ‘the industry’, we are non-union, and we fully own our films.
With your help, we can make even more, and even bigger, truly independent films, and bring them to a much wider audience. The world deserves great independent films that are actually independently made. Together, we can make that happen.
Our funding comes through small contributions from people like you. You can contribute $2.50 monthly or $30 annually. We have chosen this model specifically because we want to put the future of independent film in the hands of the people—instead of flushing your money down the toilet that is streaming services, we want you to be able to vote with your dollar for better independent films which will enrich and inspire generations to come. Visit our site, killthelionfilms.com, in order to begin contributing.
Through our affiliate program, you can also make money simply by spreading the word about us and about truly independent filmmaking. You will earn a 20% commission on any monetary contribution that comes to us from someone who began contributing through your unique referral link. As an example, if you were to bring us 100 contributors, and they were to each contribute for a year, you would earn $600—and you would continue earning for as long as they continued contributing. DM me on Twitter to learn how to become an affiliate. Slots are limited.
However you decide to help us out, I hope that you will explore the films we make and learn more about truly independent filmmaking.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to your support.
