Hi there,
I have a micro-budget screenplay that is perfect for my niche market. We only need to raise 15K more, but I don't know any investors so I spoke with a distribution company today about financing. They said that if the story is good they have investors who they will approach on my behalf.
I tried to find out how I will get paid, but she just said each deal is different.
I know if we make the film ourselves, we can sell it and see some money in the way of an advance. But I'm worried that if we start involving more people then, we, the filmmakers will never see a dime after investor, distributor, P&A...
How does the filmmaker make money when the distributor finds investors to finance?
How long does the process take?
Should we just try to raise the extra 15K? Any suggestions on where to find investors?
What are some other good questions I can ask this company? to make sure our interests are protected.
thank you
