I am a month away from finally nailing the deal for Death Movie. This was the film I lost the budget for just under three years ago when the global markets got hit. To stay sane, I went out and shot Mission X with almost no money.
The first budget I got for Death Movie was purely because of the distribution plan. The investors never even read the script. They know marketing, not movies, so it was a great deal at the time.
I have a unique plan for the distribution of this film, which could mean the film is screened on thousands of screens. We have been generating a lot of interest from screening partners, but the film wont be owned by any sales agents, distributors, or a studio, we are attempting to cut them all out, but still have a successful event driven movie.
If we don’t secure the last of the distribution money by the end of next month, mid march latest, I will be putting the movie on hold this year. I wont make the movie without the distribution budget in place, as we have to start prep in March to be able to make the Sept tour, Oct mass release. However, its looking good at this minute.
I will be trying to push many enevlopes in this film, and as well as a solid distribution plan, I want to play around with transmedia in the film, involve people on the web, so hopefully I can pull off this flick this year. If I get rolling, there will be daily video blogs all through the project.
Thanks for reading my blog
cheers
