Dear Jordon, many thanks; you have provided some of the most grounded (and bitter) truths of films financing. Many investors will be so much vary about return of their investments that they may end up changing too much in our planned films and end up spoiling our entire visions and dreams altogether. It is merely theoretical to assume that the investors have believed in our ideas and scripts if we are newcomers and do not have successful track records of earnings from our past films. In fact the only ones not meddling with a film's design are crowd funders and large corporations like KZfaq and Netflix who only want to add content of a particular genre of their choice in their libraries for exclusive releases (Now Disney will soon join this group with their 20th Century Fox acquisition). Further, your description on sponsorships/advertisements matching the film content is a core grounded fact. The challenge is to find the right sponsors matching the core theme of the movie. In fact, the filmmaker also needs to decide if including a sponsor may affect the prospects of success of a film. The ultimate funders are the audiences. They are the ones each filmmaker should care about. Meddling by financers or wrong sponsors can seriously affect this part, which could be dangerous for the future prospects and career of that filmmaker. Regards, Sourabh Kishore (EPRO India Visionaries)

Great points - my favorites: how the bplan shows investors how the film will make revenue, be open to the advice from experienced investors, pursue soft financing (sponsorship) - too many filmmakers overlook all the ways they can contribute to the bottom line without cash of their own. Well done!

Of course we would love investors/sponsors, but we are taking the step of self funding and building our audience. We are going all in this year with original content and definitely want to have a lot ready by the time the search begins.

I thought the studio funds the film it's releasing. Like for example, Universal Pictures or Columbia Pictures..then I hear it's the Executive Producers who fund a film..I'm really confused now. If anyone could enlighten me.

Funding a film is like getting funding for a new business- there are a million ways to do it. The Studio, the producer, your uncle, yourself can all be sources of funding for your film.

With everyone being home do to Covid 19. If Netflix accepts your movie to stream, how do you make money. You know if it's a hit and 10 million plus view do you get paid.

How do you make money after the film is finished? I mean, is it only youtube and film festivals? (Perhaps you could make a video about it).
@jordanpanderson8 жыл бұрын
+Laurits Helligsøe Like most business, you want to have multiple revenue streams. Ticket sales, VOD, merchandise, and selling the distribution rights are all ways to make money. BUT! Your film has to be something that people want to watch (and pay for).
@MisterSifuentes7 жыл бұрын
Laurits Helligsøe Diversify how you release the film. whether is traditional or self distribution. Your audience will likely determine which medium is consumed most. is it VOD or DVD.

What are your thoughts on creating a S Corp or LLC for the project, creating a PPM, Business Plan, Financial waterfall, and even think about the Blue Sky laws per state? Raising money without legally protecting yourself can lead to the investor knowing their rights to recall their investment when it's not fully written out. This was a good solid tight video.

Hello Jordan. Thank you for the video. I've recently written a script and have secured a director & producer to film the proof of concept. Do you think with information you provided, a private investor or sponsor would contribute to a proof of concept, ultimately leading to doing a feature film? Thanks in advance!

Hello Jordan. Your video was greatly helpful. But, I have question. Is approaching a production company to fund my movie safer or like you said "friend's rich Uncle"?
@jordanpanderson6 жыл бұрын
It depends on the relationship. You should definitely ask both the production company and your rich Uncle. They might both say yes and then you can weigh your options.

Hey Jordan. I've got a little complicated problem that's usually not an issue for most people. I live in iran. That means my country is in political conflict with most of the countries! Now, with that being said... what do you think is the best way for me to reach out , and communicate, and find a way to fund my first film? It's been a couple of years since I've been trying to make my first film , but due to terrible economic, and political circumstances (even religious boundaries!) , i haven't been able to ... I'd really appreciate a way out , if you happen to know any...

Sir,if I need an investor to produce my film,firstly what do I have to do?
@jordanpanderson5 жыл бұрын
Make the movie. It sounds counterintuitive but get as far as you can without the need for investors. Make the first 5 minutes if you have to because you need to show investors that you've got the willpower to get this movie off the ground. It'll also give the investor a taste for the movie beyond the screenplay. Make the initiative.

I'm confused as to where a movie producer plays a role in everything. If I plan on directing a movie I've written and I have to pitch my idea to investors. What role do producers play in everything what do they do is that someone you have to hire in confused about their roles .
@123healthylife6 жыл бұрын
What you did is basically a producer job, you find the script, you pitch it and find the money for production, you supervise the production work( in other case you need to hire a director), and then you handle the marketing and all the finance in general paying everybody .

I have to agree with Magese. What you did is what a Producer does...so basically you're a Writer/Director/Producer. Now if you're looking for funding it will help if you get a Producer who've done this before. He or she might be able to get the job done faster. I'm going through now....lol. Wish me luck.
