Description: We are looking for funding for a 90 min show based on a single paranormal event. This will not be a series but a single show. This made for TV movie will explore a paranormal event that occurred in 2009. The show will feature footage from the event, examination of the footage for authenticity. Round table discussions on what the paranormal entity was and why it appeared. The discussion will include diverse people with varied areas of expertise. This project was started in 2009 and will fall under the American Jobs Act of 2004. (The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 allows independent producers to write off a film in a single year if it has a budget of $1million to $15 million and 75% of that budget is spent in the US.) According to the Jobs act the write off is given according to the percentage of the investment by any one entity. That means that if you give $1.00 you will be give $1.00 in tax write off. No one else can give you his or her write off for your taxes. This will allow a 100% tax write off for all of the production cost thereby giving you a 100% return on investment and allowing you the luxury of a no risk venture. There are other tax and financial incentives available in addition the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. There is a second opportunity, a series is available for financing that will fall under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and will afford you the same tax advantages as the single show offering. If you would like to explore one or both of these opportunities, please reply to this discussion. Both movies will be donated to a non-profit that will market the programs to help fund a food bank distribution effort in Florida and Georgia. The donation will be subject to a 50% IRS deduction according to the IRS regulations. The price of the donation is determined by the cost to make the movie. This will give a guaranteed 150% ROI. This offer is legal and should be discussed with your accountant to determine if it is right for you. The one draw back is that these ROI's are tax deductions. If you or your company is unable to use the tax deductions, this offer will not be appropriate for you. Debbie Smith Gerontology Advocate (URL removed)
