Funding Your Film: Part 2 Investments
Begging your friends and family and offering them nothing in return is not always the best idea. Family can get mad and things will never be the same between you when they realize that your film isn’t starring Tom Cruise (oops…). The best way to safeguard against anger on the part of your family is to offer investments, or shares of your film. Darren Aronofsky () funded his film Pi by asking his family and friends for $100 dollar donations, and if the film made a certain amount of profit, they would get their $100 back, plus $50 interest. This may seem like a bad idea right now considering that you have no idea of how much your movie will make, or even if it will make money. Just remember, if your film doesn’t make money then you don’t need to return the $100. There’s a bright side to everything!
Next time we will be looking at fundraising.
