Thought I'd share

Hey guys and gals! I am an East Texas filmmaker, with three features that I wrote, directed, and produced under my belt. Looking to make my fourth feature if and when I find the right investors. I thought I'd share a little commercial I did for a Barndo construction company last year. I make faith a...

Funding

I've made 3 feature films, very ultra-budget films. I had to use amateurs and volunteers mainly but they all turned out pretty good and have good ratings on Amazon. I thought those would lead to real funding or would attract some whales in the investing side of it. Because if I can make good movies...

Hey David, this is Kevin from the Stage 32 team. I just wanted to let you know I moved your post from Financing / Crowdfunding to Your Stage, as it fits much better there. Let me know if you have any questions, and all the best to you!

Actor and Filmmaker from Texas

Hi. Well I am not happy unless I am working on a film whether it's in pre-production, shooting, or post. I love acting and making movies. I've made three feature films on about 15k each which as you know only covered the cost of a DP for a month and food for cast and crew. But they are rated well on...

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, David D. Ford. You're right ("...sometimes what we have to work with and what we want are two different things"). I checked out the trailer. It looks GREAT for a movie made with about...

Nice work! I have no doubts that your future projects will continue to elevate and bring you closer to your goals.

HI David, that's incredible! These sound like incredible projects! Really impressive that they are made for 15k. One of our execs here is in acquisitions at Tubi, it may be a good idea to meet with he...

Made this movie on 15k

Here is my latest film trailer to my low-budget feature. The goal is to show investors what I can do with little. Made this film with only 15k from pre-production to distribution. Imagine what I can do with 200k? Investors reach out. I have other projects ready to go. Let's some movies!

Check it ou...

My bigfoot movie

So, there are close to a hundred or so bigfoot movies but most of them are horror films or comedies. We made a serious, family oriented bigfoot film that is inspired by actual events and taken from actual bigfoot reports. We have received nothing but positive reviews for our first indie feature that...
