I've been trying for decades. No one ever really explains HOW to develop relationships with wealthy people who are interested in film. Where to find them. "The financing will find you" . Baloney. Maybe in some rare success story cases. But in the real world... not so much.

It's not common at all, but there is a few filmmakers I know that self financed their movie and got a Shudder or Tubi deal, so it's possible. Also if you have great resources for locations and you keep it small then there's a chance. I also stress, learn how to edit shoot sound design cause that cut cost, that's why I try to learn it all. I'm self financing.

I heard Joe Carnahan say that, obviously, the best situation it to have ONE financier on a film. But, sadly, most indie movies are a whole bunch of investors. which is why you see 7-8 title cards on a lot of indie movies.

Especially after the strikes against the studios in 2023, being able to finance and distribute via the internet a lot more film makers are going to leave the studios behind.

I feel like this advice reflects what the industry was like a long time ago. 😰 For example, short films do not have the legs they used to have back in 2015. Financing the production & festival run for a short film in 2023 is gonna give you tiny, tiny ROI.

My argument would be about using your own money, what if I’m not interested in making my investment back? I’m on the verge of making an experimental feature just to see what it does, and use that for my calling card for a proper narrative feature. That’s what I’m interested in. Sure, a short could launch your career, but at the same time many studios and people, prefer you to make a feature before even talking to you. It’s a damn if I do, and damn if I don’t type of situation.

Interesting. I still wonder how investors get paid back with indie shorts. How do they?

@kuramobay2445 6 ай бұрын

People who invest in indie films really love films. If they like a director or a script then they can write off their investment against tax and get some vicarious thrills from being involved in a movie adventure.

@mickmartin4681 6 ай бұрын

They don’t. You don’t make anything from shorts. You don’t get tax breaks, you don’t get anything. There is no help from anyone and no chance to recoup.

@@mickmartin4681 If you invest in any business and it looses money you write off the loss when you pay taxes. It's simple profit & loss accounting.

Anthony is right. Do not put your own money into making a feature film. You will lose that money. You probably can't afford to lose that money, so don't do it.

Who knows? Most indie filmmakers that are looking for investors are demanding to see the books when someone offers to put money into their production. They're just happy that some rich person is willing to help them.

@@dudethisismyemail - I don't know that it's the responsibility of the filmmaker trying to raise money to vet everyone who's willing to give them money. If someone is making money illegally there are legal investigations for that, but it's not your fault if someone spends illegal money on your product.

Preselling and negative pickups are now dead. Nobody's buying, and the few that are want completed films. The Cannes film market this year was a mortuary, not even action was selling. This is the worst time ever to try and get a film greenlit.
