Thank you

Thank you
Hullo! As the year wraps up, I just wanted to say thank you for reading, sharing, replying, and generally engaging with what I publish. A lot of this work only exists because people take it seriously and use it. This year I have published 107 pieces of new research in the film industry covering how films are funded, made, and seen. I’ve looked at audiences, agents, and awards as well as numerous studies into profitability and financial outcomes. The vast majority has been published entirely for free. The way I make that work is via the option to upgrade to a paid subscription. If you use this work professionally (in meetings, decks, pitches, teaching, strategy, or decision-making) I’d really appreciate you upgrading to a paid subscription. It’s normally just £4 a month or £40 for the whole year, but for the next week you can get 40% off an annual subscription with this link https://stephenfollows.com/xmas25 Paid subscribers get full access to all posts, to my crowdfunding masterclass, horror deep dive, and I’m around to answer questions. Plus it helps make this model work for everyone in which I can keep researching and publishing. I have some big plans for 2026, including my next report being sent free to all paid subscribers. If upgrading isn’t possible right now, no worries at all. Spreading the word of what I publish helps massively too. Thank you again for all the support this year. Stephen P.S. If you’d like to offer everyone in your company, school, or institution access I can set up a group subscription. Just reply to this email and I’ll sort that out for you. Here are some of the paid posts from this year:
