Independent Film
Thursday, October 15th, 2009Some tips from screenwriting basics:
You have to use tax incentives, both domestic and foreign. Making a film in today’s market without utilizing the available incentives is just plain foolish.
Be sure to utilize the US federal Section 181 deduction to accelerate your investors return.
Diversify your recoupment strategies by utilizing for example merchandising, itunes (music), and niche markets.
Be sure your film has commercial appeal.
Keep your budget as low as possible, while maintaining production quality.
Be sure to use the highest level cast possible. Your above the line cost should be at least 30% of your total budget.
2 Weeks!
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009Just a little over two weeks until the next episode airs! All you filmmakers need to start getting ready to work on third.

Josh Greenstein at Paramount is really on to something here. Using social networking to market low budget filmmakers movies is the future. We’re just hoping CliffhangerFalls can do the same thing.
