Thanks modallee42yu - sounds like fun! Thanks for the marketing advice WalterB, and the good wishes. I will talk to my DP about a showreel. I've been planning a trailer but my DP lives in Arizona and having him here in Miami will cost a bit. I might have to do a trailer with no money but I'd...

Thanks for the clarification on Tarantino and Almodovar particularly. Yes I will keep you posted.

The three crew won't be the only crew, of course. And there other costs such as cast, script, marketing etc. But of course you know that. I don't know how to set things up for 'proof of concept'. I thought the thing to do was write a script and sell it and, if wanted, direct. Remember, I'm new...

Sweetie - I'm not demanding, I'm asking. I think an experienced executive producer would be more likely to be able to get the money to make the movie, and faster. I don't know what decision I'd make if a producer gave me the choice you outline above. I would have to weigh the options, and I do...

Thanks moonshieldmedia. I'll change the title and see how the results change.

Thank you directorik. I really thought I was doing the right thing by putting most of the cast and some crew together myself - so what's the better thing to do? To write the script then get an executive producer? This thread has been an education for me. I didn't think an executive producer...

Thanks for your reply AudioPostExpert - I'm glad you're not trying to antagonise or dissuade me. I'm not contradicting myself - an executive producer would do well to have connections, but a director has a lot of people to help her do a great job. Yes, even for a first film. Are there not many...

Thanks for your reply directorik. I don't know anyone who I think could do that job. And isn't it better if someone comes on board who knows the industry more and has connections?

I don't know about finance. My executive producer will. And really it depends on the entity - just because someone is untried doesn't mean they can't do a great job and just because someone's been in the industry for a long time doesn't mean that they can do a great job either. My script, cast...

Thanks for your replies guys - I'm thinking about what you said. directorik - no I don't have a full line budget. Sweetie - right now I don't mind if someone googles me and sees what I've said. I don't have to know everything.

Thanks for replying Sweetie. I'm going to mull over what you said. I don't agree that going for $1 million is 'insane' as you suggest - in fact I was recently told it was crazy to go for that amount because I really should be going for $6-8 million to be taken seriously - but whatever, it's all...

Thank you for taking the time and energy to reply directorik. I feel you are totally right. To be honest, I feel my script and cast and crew choices are a no-brainer for someone who has money to invest in film. This movie has great potential to make a lot of money and it hurts to even ask for...

Thanks for your reply Directorik. Did you notice that I changed my initial post and removed the word 'deferred'? I mentioned it in a previous post. When I originally wrote 'deferred' I meant it in the sense that the executive producer would get paid when the money came in, and I assume there are...

We Welcome!

Hi AudioPostExpert - so who would go after the money besides me if the executive producer doesn't work on that?

I Changed the Thread Title To - 'Experienced executive producer needed to acquire and distribute the budget for Miami female-led action movie. See www.KillerEyesMovie.com.' Do you think that's fair/the right way to present my request? Thanks.

Thank you! I certainly want to learn and appreciate learning from others' experience.

I didn't mean to be insulting and I think I didn't explain myself properly. By 'deferred' I meant get a commission - or whatever it takes for an executive producer to feel well rewarded. Again, I'm new to this and there's a lot I don't know, that's why I came on here, to learn. So sorry if I...

Sorry I didn't answer your question. I expect the executive producer to sort that out. This is my first movie but even if it wasn't, I doubt I'd be handling the finance. Having an input, yes, but I don't think that'll be something I'd be good at.

You know - an experienced executive producer should be able to get the funds.
