Frustrations of an Independent Film Maker


This is how I feel on a daily bases because the fact that I'm so close to shooting my own feature film and just can't get over the hump. I do believe that grass is green on the other side, but it takes money to make money and everyone is trying so hard to just save the money they got. So, here's the big question is it more better to try to work from the inside out or work from the outside in? Meaning get a job working at a major studio and try to make my film from the inside of the major studio company or make my movie with the two months I have left till I have to get that job at that major studio. Either way I have a lot of work to do and having all the pieces of the puzzle already done I just hope for an opportunity. Confidence is something that must stay strong and willing to move forward to accomplish my goal for I know I'm going to hear a hundred "No's" before I hear one "Yes" I just hope that I'm somewhere near 100 now.

F%&^ it! Chuck it! Football!


Football is back and yes I'm extremely excited to see people get hit and hurt. It's not like I enjoy people getting hurt in the sport of football its just that its a big part of the game, for something has got to give. Anyways my blog is about my film production company and currently raising funds for a film production is the hardest thing to do. For you can have the perfect business plan and the best script, but when you just starting out people look at you as a risk. Adult comedy is still risky to the majors of the industry, which happens to be the comedy I love and produce... Great! Seems I have everything against me on this one. Angelsoft is a way to get in contact with 1,000 of angel investors and it seems I've been turned down by all of them, but maybe it can help you find funds for your start up business? So, use that link and start trying to get money to start your company. Anyways back to the point I was trying to make, for I can do everything right like:

  • Realistic sales numbers
  • Perfect business plan
  • Great script 
  • Surrounding myself with professionals on my management team
  It seems I've got every angle covered and if you have any other way to try to find funding please email me at kevinkok56@yahoo.com for I'm out of options. Need help trying to find money for my film can anyone help? Send me links, contacts, anything thanks for help.
