SDK, Yes you do need a PPM for investors. And a Subscription agreement for them to sign. If you're raising $50K I would sell 10 units at $5000 each. This keeps your investment group small. Find an entertainment attorney and work with them. They can set it all up for you. Also there are books...

shoot 2 perf 35mm. It's 35mm and you can save some coin. Also you should be able to find a RED (rental) in the LA area that you can get for a song. I have a friend that relocated to LA and he tells me that they (RED cameras) are everywhere. On a job someone ask about a RED and the Gaffer spoke...

I found getting people to let go of money in this current economic environment is VERY HARD. Not impossible, we raised our budget but man it was one of the hardest things I've ever done professionally. Persistence is one of our best friends. Keep the faith and if you have a good project you can...

Yea it's like pulling teeth (lol). I got my information from Stacy Parks (filmspecific.com) it is a subscription type site and you could prob. get the information with enough research but it was worth the money for a year sub. Her numbers are usually updated every market and covers both domestic...

Dean, welcome to the dilemma. I've had the same question finally I took the approach of what markets (U.S. and foreign) would pay for licencing added it up and gave investors an idea for potential returns and we raised our budget for a direct to DVD film. And from talking to several filmmakers...

hey countevil, It probably depends on where you are shooting. In London (forget it) permits galore. You're located in SE UK maybe find a small town that would be excited about a film being shot in the area. Then Stardust has the right idea go meet the the local police tell them what you are...

This is a genre movie, it has elements of all kinds of genre movies, Frankenstein, 28 Days, Night of the living Dead, suspense thrillers. As the saying goes 'There's nothing new under the Sun'. Every movie I see I can find elements of movies from the past. We wanted to create a film with good...

Our director appeared on a local TV show and we edited a short scene. No color correction, or music- just tension of the scene. Just wanted to post it for all the IndieTalk fam. Hope you like it. http://www.vimeo.com/6207452 :)

we're working with a mixed crew paid and unpaid. Just make sure you have paper work on the guys you pay (I-9's and W-9) talk to your accountant he can help you with that. One other thing is make sure you feed everyone well. People who are working for free will stick around longer if you do...

Check withoutabox.com tons of festivals and all the info on each. Good luck

If you want to include it in the business plan put the letter as an attachment in the appendix. Mention it in the body of the business plan with an appendix note. JM2C

I could never find any DVD sales numbers. So our numbers we used for investors were licencing high and low numbers based on what the average paid in different territories. Stacy Parks carries those numbers on her site filmspecific.com. The numbers on her site are usually from the last market...

Z-Steve is correct withoutabox.com is the best place to find billions of festivals. The coolest thing is if you have a film you can enter any festivals listed with the click of the mouse.

Oh did I mention this is a Texas Zombie thriller. The (new) actress that plays Maria is Hispanic and just got cast in Robert Rodriguez's next film to start production in Sept. she is the leads wife. This is cool for our film. Trailer at; http://www.killingfieldsmovie.com blog at...

Thanks for the kind words guys. Yes this is a virus. If you check out the trailer the radio announces a bio emergency. So we're exploiting the virus thing this is a virus that is spread by body fluid exchange, which is why the wife in the trailer turns. New trailer soon hopefully. We're...

Looks hilarious Mike!! Is it in distribution? where can you get it.

We're now in our second week of production on a Texas Zombie Thriller 'The Killing Strain' check out the trailer we shot last year that created interest from distributors and we used as leverage to raise money to produce the film. trailer at http://www.killingfieldsmovie.com Also keep up with...

Angleo, I think it depends on how attached the Oscar winner is, and if they will commit to your project in writing- then you have a bankable A-list actor (in writing) to use to raise funds. Also what their fee will be. If they love your script and will work on a SAG minimum then keep your...

Also it looks like you are in East Asia, I'm not sure that US rates may not work over there. Like CD said depends on your budget. And their experience level, someone who has some PA experience and wants to get a 1st credit may do it cheap compared to someone who works as a 1st all the time. I'm...
