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Borders and Barnes & Noble are usually woefully outdated.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!
