Hi Ketch,

I'm fairly new here and I'm not a red user - simply because I can't afford one. But I think we both share the same dream of making movies and get our movies seen out there.

I'm an independent filmmaker based in Dunedin, New Zealand. I write/produce/direct and shoot my own movies in DSLR's - 7d and 5d. But I dig your attitude. I'm with you, best of luck for your "epic" project and journey! :) If you ever come this far down in NZ I'd be more than happy to help you out as I already know some people in the independent filmmaking scene here.

Thanks Bernardo,

I'l be in New Zealand soon, so I'll make sure to let you know when I do, but it will be in Wellington, got to finally say hi to the insanely talented boys and girls at WETA shops, Peter and the crew at Park Road... ;)

Hey Ketch
As private investors are more harder to get by, and sometime ask unrealistic profit/shares.
Your project sounds great to be supported by the EU, there are some funds that can help a bit realize your project.
For example there is a media commission that can provide funds http://ec.europa.eu/culture/media/programme/overview/index_en.htm
But there are probably far more commissions that fit for funding.
For bigger funds at the EU it is better to set up a lobby, they more open to new ideas then most people think.

I am just trying to help :-)

Thanks also for the link Elmer.

We'll be in Dubai till the 21th, so I hope I have the chance to meet with key people and share my vision with them, either way this will happen, it might take longer, it might take more then few steps...

BUT IT WILL HAPPEN... ;)

Good luck Ketch we already have Studio city here, unfortunately it was a complete disaster and has not been finished i.e. as the studios have not been built, 5 years late. We have many individual studios. Unfortunately set building is our weakest discipline here, non existent in fact :(

Thanks Riki, and agree, yeah is mind blowing to me to see the Beauty and size of the constructions, as well as the sad effect caused by seen so much other hosings and buildings unfinished, very sad, however I do strongly
believe that DUBAI would be one of the perfect Partners for our project, which will also greatly benefit Dubai's future.
 
As as always Ketch I wish you all the very best and if I can support you in any way I am here for you,if you have time come and visit me on set I am on a feature in Dubai until the end of November .
Unfortunately here there are a lot of inexperienced people and they will give you unrealistic promises that they will never be able to live up to. So it takes some time to find out who.
However there are also a group of fantastic technician's who can hold there own in an International market place. No doubt you will see for yourself very quickly :)

Thanks for the invitation Riki, I'll see if I can make it.

As far as what I am looking for here, is to meet Influential individuals form the Royal family with the power of making important decisions, and of course monetary ones, this is not about finding techs,
is about finding a serious amount of capital and bring Dubai in to the partnership of KETCH ROSSi STUDiOS, with a Dubai branch.

ketch.. who are you dealing with in Abu Dhabi... and if you are interested in setting up a company, you should drop by 2454 in Abu Dhabi and see what kinda deals they're having for foreign investors.
 
Several people, both in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but again this I'm proposing its not a small project, but a One Billion, with a B... ;) investment so its a bit complex, and not for any one.

We'll be here till mid December, so hope to have the pleasure to meet you as well, just that I'll be pretty busy with the Filming of the 3rd Annual Dubai Skydiving Championship... ;)
 
Would be great to meet the REDuser ubercollective youve gathered.

Lets organise a proper night of it, if you get one off that is :)
