Re-releases: Why I’m re-releasing older films
So a few months ago, I started re-releasing some of my older content.
Let me be 100% clear right up top: the re-releases will be IN ADDITION to the new films. I know a lot of clip store studios re-release films when they have nothing new to share – but that’s not what is going on here.
I know many patrons have been supporting me from day one (love you guys) and will already own the films; but that’s okay because the re-releases are AS WELL AS the new releases, not INSTEAD OF.
I hope I’ve made it clear – you will still be getting the same number of new releases every month. You’re just getting the re-releases as well.
I would also like to make clear that the prices on each tier are not increasing.
So why am I re-releasing older films?
As many of you know, the older Project Horror YouTube channel was deleted in early 2022 and all the trailers up to that point were lost. The net result is that I have about 2 years worth of releases available in Patreon that IS NOT promoted anywhere on YouTube – so that’s 2 years of content that is not driving traffic, subscribers, or new patrons.
Also, according to my viewer stats, those older films do not get many views from patrons every month. By re-releasing them, they will reach more people and get some more love.
I’m also conscious that the cost of living everywhere has gone up, so I’m keen to add even more value to your membership.
How is it going to work?
I’ll be looking to re-release films that are older than one year. These films will be exclusively available to the Super Fan tiers. I will be creating new trailers for them and releasing those trailers on YouTube.
I will also be making them available to download from my Gumroad store. I need to build up my Gumroad store, just in case something ever happens to my Patreon page. Also, Patreon isn’t available in some countries.
As I said, the re-releases will all be a year old or older – Patreon will be always be the only place fans can stream and download my new and recent work 😀
I’m going to start with 2 or 3 re-releases a month and see how it’s going.
With shooting videos, I may take the opportunity to redo the digital squib work.
Can patrons request which films will be re-released?
Yes, simply DM me or leave a comment below or on the original release and I’ll add it to the list.
I hope I’ve covered all the salient points. If you have a comment or question, just message me I’ll reply asap.
