There really is NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS.  You too can get in the game.
 
Following will be a brief discussion of various independant film projects proposed and or currently underway.  Every project carries with it a high degree of risk.  The mere discussion of any project herein is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any security.  Prospective investors must always gather additional information and exercise a substantial level of due diligence before making any investment.  It is also true that over the many decades film investments have frequently returned abundantly to investors.

GOT A MOVIE?  NEED DISTRIBUTION?  Okay then lets talk. 

I am looking for all genre except porno.  Length from 22 minutes and up.  SD or HD.  Must have all the necessary paperwork such as releases for talent and music.  Should have proof of copyright or I can assist you getting a copyright.  I can have your film in wolrdwide NON-theatrical distribution in about six weeks.  If you want to know more please send a brief description of your project together with contact information to drcommuicator@gmail.com.  I use the precise same distirbution system as UNIVERSAL STUDIOS uses for its HomeVideo.

FUN NEW DEAL with great potential.  Look below on the right side of this page and read about the amazing success of Mark Pirro and his ultra low budget horror fim, Polish Vampire in Burbank.  Silly right?  Yet his $2500 production investment returned him over $1 Million in 30 years.  In case you are wondering that works out to a 22.106% rate of return.  We think we can do better so we are prepared to produce an ultra low budget ($36,000) film as soon we raise the money.  Minimum investment is $6000, maximum is $36,000.  With that we will produce a feature film of the Horror genre.  We have domestic USA non theatrical release assured.  Everything else is up in the air.  But thanks to all of the available new technology we are confident we can accelerate the returns achieved by Mark.  The basic deal is this, we will pay 80% of the net returns pro rata to investors until either the investor receives a sum equal to THREE TIMES his original investment, or until a period of ten years from the date of first release has run, whichever comes first.  Clearly we have every incentive to help you TRIPLE your money as fast as possible.  YES there is RISK, but if you are will to assume the risks, the reward portential is huge.  For more information please send your contact info to drcommunicator@gmail.com.  Doing so creates NO obligation on either side.  Oh yeah and just for fun each investor also receives an on screen Executive Producer credit.

"Hollywood is where they shoot too many pictures and not enough actors."                                Walter Winchell

Let’s take a close look at the global market for movies.  This is particularly focused on the ultra low budget deal presented above.  Major films obviously march to a different drummer.  But no matter how you look at it the movie business is about as good as it can get.  Just ponder the following.

1.        The current world population is in excess of 7 BILLION people.  But let’s be very conservative and deal with the fact some people are too young or too old or just don’t like movies.  Some people also don’t have internet access and others will avoid English language movies.

2.       So we chop off 90% right away leaving a mere 700 MILLION prospective buyers.  But hey of this group a large number will just never look for a movie on the internet in general so let’s 90% off of this number too.  Now we are down to a mere 70 million possible buyers. 

3.       Yeah but these are just “maybe” prospects, not hard core well qualified prospects.  Okay so I will chop another 90% off bringing our pool down to tiny 7 million people.

4.       Having chopped the prospect pool by 90% three times and getting down to only 7 million people let’s keep chopping yet again and reduce the actual buyers to a mere 10% of this already deeply discounted pool.  That yields a lousy 700,000 buyers. 

5.       So let’s multiply that by the probable net proceeds per DVD sold of $5 and multiply that times our buyers group number of 700,000 and the net sales proceeds should be $3.5 MILLION.

6.       Now let’s add the Murphy’s Law factor and cut this return in half leaving just $1.75 MILLION.

All that discounting and cutting and we still get a very decent $1.75 MILLION return on an investment of only $36,000.00.   Where are you going to beat that?

3D dollar sign
In 1983 Mark Pirro a thoroughly inexperienced film maker produced "A Polish Vampire in Burbank" for a mere $2500.  It went on to gross over ONE MILLION DOLLARS.  The point is simply that you don't have to be a mega studio to make excellent returns on money in the film industry.  Just click below to read the article. It is inspiring.

And then there is the much discussed BLAIR WITCH PROJECT released in 1999.  Principal photogrpahy was completed on a budget of just $33,000.  By the time all was said and done the total budget for the film had swelled to somewhere between $500,000 and $750,000, still very low for a feature film.  It went on to gross more than $248 MILLION, proving once again that serious money can be made at every level of the movie business.   CLICK BELOW for more

Ishtar.jpg

Released in 1987 and starring Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman, ISHTAR received overwhelmingly horrible reviews and remains one of Hollywoods most notorious flops.  Production costs were high for the day at $51 million.  Total returns to date are a mere $14.3 million.  That is clearly a flop but NOT a total loss.  Plus on January 4, 2011 SONY Pictures released ISHTAR again on Blu Ray.  So even a true flop never totally dies.
