  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Birger Lens Mount Reservations

there are "investments " and then there are "investments " hollywood style ...
hollywood isn't looking to make a 1.5mil profit they are looking for the 40 mil ...
so where does my $200 project that returned 10k+ rank in percentages ?= good return to ME but means nothing in the real $$ investments unless it can be repeated weekly/monthly

that 500k film that was sold for 2 mil is a excellent profit for a indie however if a major bought it they will now spend 5-20mil for PR and they are not looking to make 1.5 mil ... if a major/minor spends 40 mil and "sells" it for 100mil ( i assume both examples you gave are out right sales not box office receipts) .. in the end Major hollywood studio's will be hiring the director & producer that did the 100 mil sale not director/producer from the 2 mil sale ...

Mike,

Are you looking for additional Red owner / operator / shooters ?

If so, I'd like to apply.

THE 400% is more successful. Having to invest in a hollywood film with known stars/directors obviously gives you a more stable investment...

Hollywood spends 9 billion to make 10 billion. Trust me... they'd rather make a billion and 10% than 1 million and 500 percent... because they don't know how to scale that up into 1 billion in profits.

Slice it however you want but there's a reason Hollywood is making fewer, bigger movies that cost a fortune and reducing the number of total movies produced.

Just putting things into perspective.
 
It's been about a week since the last update. Come on, everyone! Add a little squeak to the wheel! Keep complaining!

You see that? Don't doubt the power of a squeaky wheel. Complain, and ye shall receive!

Thanks for the update, Jarred. :)
 
Every complaint we receive.. will delay things one day.

Of course! That's what's been taking so long!

Let's see... [tallies up the complaints in this thread, compares to calendar since NAB '07]

Yep, that sounds about right.
