I have received various friend requests from people who say they have millions to invest in a new project. Are these people real or… other?

Thanks everyone! I thought it was really odd.
You're welcome, Courtney Bradman.

Hi Courtney, great question! Whenever you encounter anything you think may be inappropriate or spam, please feel free to email support@stage32.com. We'll look into right away! And no matter what, ALWAYS do your due diligence when entering into relationships on projects.
Likely no - those people are not going to really be on a forum. They might approach a winner of some prestigious competition/contest but just randomly hunting scripts by messaging people here... not happening.

If you have friends who have millions to invest in a new project, send them my way. I have a number they can get into and some they would be dumb not to. Not joking. But on the assumption you are talking about them investing in YOUR project, it's very easy to see if they are for real. Ask for the money. You will find out very quickly who "has it" but won't part with it, who "has it" but thinks that makes them an expert in a field requiring dozens of skill sets and decades of experience and thus wants to examine your whole project for free before deciding if it's good enough even for development funds, who "has it" but suddenly has a family emergency/stock loss/real estate emergency/career disruption/medical issue/dying relative/unforeseen expenses... Who "has it" but just found another, non-film investment that suits them better... Who simply disappears. To be clear, NONE of the preceding people has or ever had the money or any intention of investing. The one and only way is to ask for the money, and get the money. What happens between those two points will tell you a lot.
