I am always looking for over investors who are interested in joining with me to fund film projects.  I would also like to talk to you if you have invested in a film in the past and hear about your experience and what sort of result you ended up with.

Show Me The Passion

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

One of the things that I look for in assesing any project is just how committed are the producers to their project.  The only thing that determines were a project makes it to the “can complete” is the producers’ committment and passion to their project.

Don’t mistake hype as passion.  They’re easy to tell apart, passion shines through the eyes, lack of committment doesn’t.

How to find money

Monday, May 8th, 2006

There is plenty of money out there, it just depends on what your objective is and who you are willing to partner with on your project.

The first port of call for alot of producers is the government funding authorities.  I personally like to steer clear of them.  Whilst relatively speaking getting money from them is easier than raising it yourself, it comes with too many strings attached and on an equity basis is very expensive.

It is better to look for money in other places it you really want to make a decent proift and maintain some level of control over your project.

In earlier posts I have mentioned different sources of money, it is worthwhile checking those entries out again.

Always remember, you are the person witht he passion about the project it is you vision and desire that is going to get the project up.  Don’t delegate funding to others, as you are the driving force, investors are going to want to see the “whites of your eyes”
