The "art & science" of investing in "money making movies" !!!
INVESTING IN MOVIES / FILMS, TELEVISION, MUSIC, PERFORMING ARTS
There is a greater demand for movies than ever before, and the independent film companies are filling a higher share of this demand. Currently there is a profitable worldwide market with many presales from dozens of worldwide ancillary buyers, US theatrical rights, primetime TV, Syndicated TV, Cable TV, Video/DVD, music, merchandise, plus all of these same rights - foreign theatrical and ancillary rights - to each of these venues in every country in the world - it is realistic to generate good profits on films.
Filmmaking is a combination of technology, art and business. Only around 1000 independent films get produced in the USA each year, and approximately only 400 of those ever get theatrical distribution. ie where the importance of marketing and promotional concepts in film business comes into the picture. Even though a film may be a masterpiece, it fails with audiences if it has not been correctly marketed. It can be heartbreaking when films with neither the talent nor the creativity of your own achieve greater commercial success because they have superior marketing strategies or promotional tools.
