Inside the Secrets of Crafting a Micro-Budget Feature Film with Ashley Scott Meyers: Hollywood’s Best-Kept Formula Revealed
There’s not really an ROI on something like this. I mean, hopefully, we make our money back. Hopefully, we make a ton of money. Hopefully, this thing takes off as success. But most of these small micro budget films, you know, if they make a little bit of money, they break even, you know, you’re doing pretty well with it. So, you know, the question is, how do you pitch investors on this? And as I said, I pitched these investors really on just the experience of making a cool independent film. As I said, Tony, it was just he’s a retired doctor. He wants to produce films. He thinks it would be a cool thing to be a part of. So he’s happy to come in, invest a little bit of money, get a producer credit, and frankly, learn, you know, he learns a lot. Each one of these films we do, he’s gotten to really see it firsthand and be a part of the process. And as I said, with Scott, he’s come on and done the music and just been a part of the process. So hopefully, I’m including, you know, these investors and giving them something that they that that they want and that they like, without necessarily promising that they’re going to make millions of dollars, invest a little money, you’re going to make millions of dollars. I hope it happens, but that’s probably not going to happen. So how can you offer value to people, which is not necessarily just a straight return on investment ROI. I do have a deal memo in place with the investors.
