You need to have a track record if you're looking for money and you need funding if you will use name stars who have to be paid. My ex-students, friends and partners have a total of 61 features in development (I'm helping to develop a lot of them) and all of them have also been waiting for funding. Not using name stars, we just put two features into production with very, very low budgets and the results so far are great.
Welcome to the "new media" digital age. No film, no developing, no work prints, no cost. I'm amazed at what can be done today! All you need is a camera, a computer and responsible people who know what they are doing. While everyone else is waiting to find money to make their film, there is a silent revolution happening. New media is changing the world. Everyone who can pick up a digital camcorder is already making short films and many have already made their first features.
I'm a retired teacher willing to help young people with good ideas get started making their films. I learned all I know about "new media" independent digital production and "viral marketing" because I visited a dozen+ websites for a few hours every morning for the last seven years. I also write books and blog about independent digital cinema on myfilm.com and digital animation on various sites. I'm told I am becoming a sort of "new media guru" because of my blogs and an article I wrote for a London film distributor. Just as Henry shaped the future of the 20th century, I was able to see and put into words how George will shape the 21st
http://www.what-hath-george-wrought.synthasite.com Check out the new Camileo S10 1080p camcorder for $181.00. Of course, it doesn't do everything that more expensive cameras can do, but who cares? The important thing is that it gives you true hi-def quality.
