There are no guarantees in life, and especially in the world of
moviemaking. But if you do your homework before you dive in and make an
independent film you greatly increase your chances of making money back for yourself and your investors. There are lots of books and seminars and web
sites out there...and they all say they can teach you how to make an indie
film, and some of them may even claim to show you how to make money doing it.
But the problem is that the landscape of moviemaking changes constantly, and
books on the shelves of Borders and Barnes & Noble are usually woefully
outdated. Web sites aren't updated frequently enough. Seminars lack substance.
This Guide is as up to date as anything. Update in 2004, and using the
FIRST HAND EXPERIENCES of filmmaker Michael Valverde, this will guide you
through the maze that is the world of indie film financing and distribution.
Michael Valverde wrote and directed the feature film LOSING GRACE (with Lesley
Ann Warren, Ronny Cox, and Ryan Browning). He got suckered into signing a bad
distribution deal and has LEARNED FROM HIS MISTAKE. Now, would you like to go
out on your own and make the same mistakes he made? No! Learn from his
mistakes, too!
Michael Valverde has raised over $2 million in development funds for
various TV and movie projects. He has co-written and directed the features:
"No Witness" starring Jeff Fahey, Corey Feldman, and Michael Damian,
now in worldwide distribution with Curb Entertainment and "First
Offense" starring Joan Severance and Corbin Bernsen. He also co-wrote and
directed the shorts films "Insanity" featuring Kip Pardue, and
"No Witness" featuring Shawn Mullins. Michael Valverde is the
REAL DEAL, and now you can share in his hard-won experience with this Guide.
As a bonus, when you buy the Guide you will receive, FREE OF CHARGE,
a copy of a real distribution deal with each item in it fully explained. Also,
FREE OF CHARGE, you will receive a copy of an actual business plan used to
entice potential investors into investing in an indie film. You'd probably pay
upwards of $60 for a package like this in Barnes & Noble or Borders. But
check out OUR PRICE: $19.95 and you get the e-book immediately!
