3 DVDs Financing & Packaging Description
Financing your Feature Film A 3 DVD Set We filmed Tom Malloy teaching our Financing Seminar and created hours of important information for you on developing your information package and financing your feature film. I believe it’s a greater benefit to you when you get the information directly from a filmmaker. Especially someone who raised over 12 million for three films he wrote and produced. Tom tells you where to look for money, what to say when you find it and most of all, how to get that first money in your account! Plus we filmed special guest Brad Schreiber, the man who does all of the consultations on log lines and screenplays for Chris Vogler. Brad is a screenwriter, author and VP of Storytech Literary Consulting, www.theWritersJourney.com Here are a few of the things covered in the DVD’s: What goes into your information Package, Tom goes over each item that you need in your information package and gives you advice on how to complete it. He answers many questions you might have on the package like: • How old should your comparable films be? • What does it mean to “defend your comparables?” • How to choose a comparable film? • Which are the key issues in choosing comparable films, budget, characters or script? • Isn’t 125% a bit high to pay for the return to an investor? • What do you pay for the first money in? • What happens if you don’t find the rest of the money for your film? • Which budget do you put on the business plan, the one you can make the film for or the dream budget? You get important information to help you create your information package like: • The most important part you have to remember about your business plan is that it has to be 100% organic. The business plan will be rewritten constantly. • Investors or potential investors may want to see different things, example, some may want to see risk management or tax credits; you need to address each potential investor’s needs and create your package specifically for them. • If you find that your business plan model isn’t working, redesign it. • The key in most instances is in knowing the investor, Tom explains how he has spent time with investors and how important it is to know them before you make an “ask.” COMPLETING YOUR BUSINESS PLAN • Executive summary o Your bulleted point list of what you are doing o Attachments o Shooting and tax credits o Risk management scenario o What to give your Investor, title, current percentage being offered. ?
