Description:
We are producing a documentary, here's information on the documentary:
He’s 47 years old, a photographer, a single father of two, and he’s trying to start a billion dollar company on a $100 budget, his name is Mark Husmann.
OTF Films presents a fun filled, entertaining documentary following a year in the life of Mark Husmann as this determined entrepreneur sets out to pursue his dreams and find his riches while hoping his 1995 Camry with 300,000 miles doesn’t fall apart before he does.
He has a frangrance line, he has a clothing line, he’s developing lawn irrigation technology, he’s marketing his workout gloves, he’s building a non-profit for charity, and that’s just before lunch-time. Mark’s search for money takes the audience into his world. He’s like the Indiana Jones of the business world, going after each and every clue that will lead him closer to finding his pot of gold. Every lead takes him closer towards success as he’s taken out every dollar he can against his house, sold almost everything of worth he owns, and is constantly drawing the line between genius and insanity.
Everyone has an opinion or advice for Mark, from the clothes that he wears to the font size on his newest sales pitch. Mark’s received more loans than most banks give out in a month’s time but no matter what Mark will not let anything stand in his way or take “No” for an answer. His determination and tenacity will inspire the dreamer and entrepreneur in all of us and make you want to go out and start your own billion dollar company and accomplish your life long goals. As Mark says, “If 9 out of 10 business fail, I’ll just have to open up 10.”
Will he Make his Mark on entrepreneural history or will he just be another number in the history books.
