How not to Invest in a Film or Movie
How not to Invest in a Film or Movie
Recently I had the privilege of being invited to a test screening of a locally made film here in Chicago and the first question I asked myself after painfully watching it was as follows–
“Who in their right mind decide to play Baccarat with hundreds of thousands if not a million or so dollars on this doomed film”?
After doing a little investigation I realized that sometimes when daddy or mommy want the kiddies to do more with their lives than bitch and moan about a new BMW, they have to write them a check no matter what to fund their Hollywood dreams.
Well that’s the problem. There is no more “Hollywood” infrastructure that is linear and everything is based on doing a lot of homework and having a solid sales team in place before you make the film.
These filmmakers unfortunately, did not do theirs.
