Money for Your Movie: Guaranteed: How to Finance Your Film with a Phone Call (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798641159843)

An estimated 50,000 screenplays are registered with the Writers Guild America every year. When someone goes to the trouble and expense of protecting their work with WGA registration, that's an indication of serious intent; these folks want to see their script produced.If you're one of those screenwriters or filmmakers with the dream of seeing your story produced and projected on movie screens around the world, you know that having a great script isn't really enough. You may even have trouble getting anyone in "the industry" to simply read and consider your screenplay for production. That's the norm in today's movie-making pipeline: it's essentially a closed shop unless you have successful (profitable to financiers) films in your credit history. The only way around this Catch-22 is to produce your own film from material you truly believe in. But the stumbling block faced by everyone with a great script in their hands is that it takes money to independently produce a film of any quality...lots of money. FINDING THAT MONEY SO YOU CAN MAKE YOUR FILM IS WHAT THIS BOOK IS ALL ABOUT.Raising the money you need to make your movie is no longer the impossible task it once was. You only need to find those individuals with money they're willing to risk, and then convince them that your film has a reasonable chance of returning their investment plus some net profit attached.Does that sound impossible?Well, it's not. Mark Stouffer has raised millions of dollars from private individuals for his movies, and he's done it repeatedly. Now, for the first time, he shows you exactly how you can raise the money you need to make your films.All you have to do is pay attention and carefully follow the 7 Steps to Raising Money for Your Movie in this book.Nobody said that making a movie-or raising the money to finance your filmmaking venture-was easy. But it can be done...and you can do it exactly the way the author has done it.More than once, Stouffer started from absolute Ground Zero with nothing more than a telephone and blank paper on his desk. He's gone from "idea" to . . . to script . . . to business plan . . . to pitch . . . to production financing . . . to final cut . . . to distribution deal . . . to the red carpet. Asking others for money so that you can make your movie may sound like an impossible challenge. But if you use the tactics, strategies, and principles in this book, you will be an undeniable force. You will raise the money you need, and you will make your movie
