Okay, so I'll admit, I'm pretty new to this whole film making industry. And I've got a rather fundamental question.
All of those HUGE movie productions, with the $100 million+ budgets? Where do they get that???
"Ever heard of Universal? 20th Century Fox? That's where."
Okay. So then, say I've got a screenplay. And I want to direct it. And I don't want it to be some low-end indie thing. I want good actors, good equipment, good sets, etc. Is there ANY way to get one of those major production companies to throw me a couple million?
How do the guys that direct the huge box-office hits get the money? Are they just hired by the studios? Or do the studios give them money in exchange for a profit percentage?
And then say I don't have any reputation. What route should I go then? Private investors, maybe?
... Help.
