Can you hire someone to pitch a script, or help you sell it? It's a true Story, About Evel Knievel's Body Guard. Gene could be famous for several things that have been written in a Hollywood movie. He was a motorcycle jumper, heavy weight boxer & more. Gene's father is the subject of THE ODD COUPLE movie. His real Father is Ernie Nevers. Who has fame in 3 Professional Sports. He invented the hook shot; Pitched to Babe Ruth; Saved the NFL & has the oldest 4 NFL records. Ernie was a first inductee to the NFL Hall of Fame. George Clooney made a movie; Leatherheads about him. Gene's GREATEST privilege is about the lives he has saved, even famous people. Just by an inspired thought that came into his head... instead of using his fists. His fists that were going to fight Ali, Joe Frazier, George Formen, and the heavy weights of His day, before Rocky Marciano died in a plane crash. He even had a thought come into his head when he invented the first Skido, and did a stunt in San Francisco. He sent the blue prints to Honda and Kawasaki with no patent. But that voice in his head said "undo your helmet strap", and it kept his head on his body to respond. The movie script starts with his famed WW2 Command Bomber Pilot mother, buzzing him and his brother in a Crop Dusting Plane, bombing them with toilet paper rolls. Gene was the longest touring motorcycle jumper in the world, flying a bike through flames of fire, when there were only 5 motorcycle stuntmen in the world. He's highly regarded in the stunt world. You can watch him speaking to a King, or doing Evel Kneivels Funeral on our channel. Thanks for your advice. Ceci

Is it a must to have the full script or is the first act enough? And is a TV casting director's support ever valid to a film?
@filmmakingstuff
@filmmakingstuff 10 күн бұрын
For investors, having the full script is typically essential. They want to see the entire story arc and character development to fully gauge the project’s potential. As for a TV casting director's support, it can be quite beneficial. Their industry connections and talent-spotting skills can lend credibility and attract key players to your film. Just ensure their experience aligns with your project's needs. Good luck!

Final Draft automatically saves all your work, like every 15 minutes, to a folder on your computer, that way if final draft shuts down, or Microsoft Edge, etc, your files will be saved on your computer... 1. Good to 'tools', then hit options, and you'll see all 'your' updated saved work, in the saved folders file.

It's in the can and ready to go but the film maker hasn't been able to get it to market, "I'm not high enough up the food chain to know all the details but" the around one hundred people involved in the production would like to see the film out there.

Very helpful information. I have been to Cannes once. I attended the full 2 weeks and I have been to AFM several times. Both markets are great! I totally agree with all of your comments and film development strategy. It is best to secure potential pre-sales relationships before you make the film to avoid making content that’s not marketable.

Great tip! Since the first production I did, we would always send press releases to as many online film publications as we could. And we always would get names for our projects, of some level. And getting press relases, beget more releases of your project on other sites, often with additional websites contacting you with some questions to answer about the project, so they dont just have repeat content that other sites already have.

That's a great strategy! Sending press releases to online film publications helps generate buzz and build momentum. Consistent coverage attracts more attention and inquiries from other sites, boosting your project's visibility and credibility. Keep it up!

Your approach is valid and can definitely work, but there are a few key things to keep in mind. If your short film series can generate a following and build a solid audience, that can be a great foundation for funding a feature film. Just make sure each episode is high quality and adds value to your brand. Keep engaging with your audience and use their feedback to improve. Also, consider leveraging the success of your series to attract investors for your feature film. It's all about adding value and showing potential backers that your projects are worth investing in.

This was really good advice. Most videos on KZfaq that talk about making your first indie feature or making a low budget project discuss using what's available to you. Does your uncle have a Auto Body Shop, write it into the script. That sort of advice, and while that's good for securing some locations, my producer has a friend from high school that owned one. But other things, we tried to get the best looking sets we could get. A line that has always worked for me, outside of NY or CA, is - This is the perfect location. We've been looking for this location for days, and everything we saw just didn't have that cinematic quality to it. But this, is like I've just walked into a movie. Flattery will get you everywhere. This method has gotten locations to roll out the red carpet for us, sometimes closing the location to let us film, or, letting us in on their closed days, and providing a chaperone, to let us in and out, show G&E the breaker box, etc. turn A/Cs off and on for us, almost acting as addition locations, because everyone is excited that you're using their location. We've even had restaurants and other eating establishments provide free meals to cast and crew, without promoting. We've also gotten a lot of restaurants to just close one section for us, which isn't always the best for sound, but it also hasn't been a nightmare either, cause generally you set it up on their non busy day, and you can also usually get free background shots of the real patrons, just have lots of releases handy. Also, I didn't come up with this method on purpose. I said it in earnest, after seeing dozens of cafes, but the owner felt it so much, I always say it when approaching owners of any type of location, from private home on up. And of course, I look at tons of places before deciding on a location, but I just do it virtually. Via photos and even pulling up floor plans if available to check dimensions. I only approach the location I want to get, and it's worked everytime I've done it outside of NY or CA. It works in those places to, but they want money, where everywhere else, is excited to be in a film. And if you can most of your locations for nothing, then you save a lot over the course of the shoot. We would always budget for the locations, but then just get them for free with sweet talk. And when they tell you they'll provide food, even when you have people on crew/cast with dietary restrictions, you're also saving on catering for the day. Then if you get free background, which we have with most locations we've done, only having to hire a couple of our own, you also save big. Everyone wants to be in the movies, everyone thinks it could be their big break. Help people fulfill that dream. Also, if you have name actors attached, they get excited that they could take a picture with them for their wall. They start bending over backwards wanting to do even more for you. It's also a great way to give back to the community that's helping you get your movie made, because they end up feeling like they are part of it, and not just an other transactional customer.
@filmmakingstuff
@filmmakingstuff Ай бұрын
Your approach to securing locations through genuine appreciation and flattery seems to be quite effective.It helps you get free places to film and sometimes even free food. Plus, it makes the community feel involved in your movie, which is great. All big wins!
