Dave’s TGIF Weekly #4

Wow! Has the world gone mad. The financial system is cracking not just in the USA but all over the world. At least the movie industry will thrive. If one business is recession proof its the movies. We love seeing them in good and bad times. They are our escape.

That being said, I spoke to a friend today who funds features. She said money for movies is tightening up alot. Not for lack of it or that their bank has collapsed but with this crisis comes great opportunities. Many would be investors are now looking at investments in companies and businesses that they deem on sale. The mindset is "lets buy an established business or stock that is extremely undervalued" instead of "hey lets make a movie that could be risky!".

Needless to say their is still folks who love investing and making films. Those that are well planned out, have names, distribution will be at the front of the line for those funds.

What does all this mean? Be prepared. Have your package together. Get as many elements as possible in place prior to seeking that big check.

Cheers!
