1_ Basics of Film Financing

[@AnnoyingMoose]

I learned these lessons the hard way! I liquidated my retirement savings and spent $40,000 of my own money to make a movie that won 2 awards and got a North American distribution deal...which made me $400.

However in my humble translation I'd like to thing of it as Credits leaving a legacy forever in history this movie was not only fun, adventurous, as you mention educational all for %36,000 and a lot of unforgettable movie making magical history ^_^" You get where I coming from or Selling here ? ;-) A SEXY LEGACY ^_^" ...May I ask ? Was it worth it?

[@BillZebubproductions]

I kept most of my budgets under $5,000 and each movie made between $10,000-$50,000, but I always dreamed of making something with a proper budget.

But if someone donates to your film, what kind of screen credit do you give them? How are they listed? Co-producers?
