I have some experience with film having produced several short films myself, one of them was featured at the International Short Film Festival Hamburg recently. I don't have any specialist skills apart from what I used for my short films (Avid XPress, After Effects), but I am familiar with working on the set and, of course, highly motivated to learn any particular skills. Personally my ambitions are lighting and photography. Miriam Visaczki contact: weimarwest@hotmail.de | Feature Film Funding Entertainment Company is seeking an equity investment of USD5m for production of one film project and overhead expenditures. Current projections indicate a pre-tax net profit of USD12,110,000. These estimates are realistic and modest. Depending on the domestic and international theatrical and ancillary successes, figures could conceivably exceed these amounts. The projects' goals are to combine production and behind-the-scenes experiences to maximise return to the investor and minimise the risk in the filmmaking venture. This amount will furnish all costs associated with development, pre-production, production, post-production and delivering of the motion picture and soundtrack for domestic and international release.
