It is wild, Pat Alexander. That's one reason why people are buying physical media.
I hope they have backups somewhere. Most of the time the master files/tapes are stored, and all the copies get destroyed.

I'll be glad to help! Please consider me.
I would actually like to invest with my own capital.(I think I can come up with enough money to produce) The problem is that I don't know how to recover that investment. I'm green on the subject!
Best to have a local producer to your area to be boots on the ground and help arrange logistical efforts for locations, casting, crewing, equipment rentals, set prep, etc.
What a great AMA! Tom is the best and has so much experience with this topic. I cannot recommend this more for all of the actors, hosts, and stunt performers on the site!
Agreed, Sam Sokolow!
Stage 32ers! I hope your week is off to a great and creative start.

Thank you Sam Sokolow
Had multiple conversations with film commissioners at Cannes. The dearth of qualified people at these positions is literally holding up productions in many places. Never been a better time to get trained and certified. Jobs are at the ready.

Statistics I'll be following RB! Seems also there's some effected issues back here at home. Not official, but has alerted my attention, staying tuned in, as much as possible. Don't know how much local matters are connected, affected by international statistics, awaiting official news.
Dust is in the air, Eon C. Rambally. Although there is much more stability internationally in pockets.

Everything about the facility is staggering. And it's a domestic investment, which, of course, is encouraging.
