She has not worked since 2009, so whatever distribution her name got happened years ago, the business can change dramatically in a matter of months. So whatever someone was worth a year ago, two years ago or ten years ago can be either considerably less or considerably more now. The old...

I might be wrong on this but I don't think SAG had their Ultra Low Budget agreement available back when that movie was produced. I don't know what the real budget was on Witch Academy, but I would say that back then Robert Vaughn got paid a lot more than $100 a day, probably between scale and...

If the only names in your movie are in the caliber of Julie Strain, they will not get you distribution, these former B-listers, now C- or D-listers are pretty much worthless if you want distribution. B-listers to me and everyone else in the business are names like Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Cuba...

I don't know what sort of Deal Jackie Chan had with that movie or how long it took to film his scenes, so can't really comment on that. But I would not classify Julie Strain as a big name actress, names of this caliber can be hired for only one or two days, and they are glad to get the job, but...

I'm not really seeing how this would work. Most of the names who are big enough to guarantee distribution or even pre-sales generally don't like to do short films, unless the script is phenomenal and/or there is an A-list director, producer or writer involved or if the star is good friends with...

I'm sure they would like to see proof of funds, but all they really can do is to ask you if you're fully financed and they just have to trust your word. Anything more than that would be unreasonable. They aren't going to ask you to show them how much is in your bank account, and even if they did...

Contact the agents and tell them that you are fully financed (even though you're not) and make their client an offer. Once there is a deal memo or an agreement drafted you go to the investor and tell them you have a name actor attached, give me some money. You only need 10% of the agreed salary...

I'm curious to know how much you paid for that animation, because quite frankly if I were you I would've asked for my money back. IMO that is quite poor. I understand if you want it to look like that for the camp value, but you can get better CGI without having to pay much. I bet there are...

Realistically, for you to get pre-sales the whole package needs to work, you need several stars, not just one, unless that one star happens to be someone like Jason Statham. The film's genre also has to be a highly marketable, basically Action, Thriller, Horror, to some extent Sci-fi and family...

You can't just casually ask anyone to do a breakdown for you for free. You need to do it yourself or hire a line producer. Also a product placement deal for a no name indie movie is extremely unlikely. You might be able to get some local businesses to give you some services for a discount if...

I just watched the short and I have to say I quite enjoyed it. The premise was good and so was the execution. It kept me wanting more. That being said I think your goals are a bit unrealistic. There isn't a person in the world who will watch your short film and make a phone call and set you up...

It all depends on what you are selling and what are the demographics who read a particular magazine. In your example that obviously worked well, since people who would be interested in reading fantasy/horror literature would probably subscribe to a magazine like that. However, magazines and...
