Description:
Daydream Pictures, LLC offers a unique opportunity with FAR less risk than most film-related investments. As leader of this company, I am an award-winning filmmaker with over 40 years of experience in the film/TV industry, with a background that includes work in feature films and major network TV shows. My most recent film is now playing throughout the US on PBS stations, with excellent reviews after more than 1000 broadcasts.
My most recent film as a director is now playing throughout the US on PBS stations, with excellent reviews after more than 1000 broadcasts.
My company is now in development on a dramatic film with broad commercial appeal, The Crossing. The story features 3 generations of strong women, and touches on numerous themes that will powerfully resonate with audiences around the world.
What we are seeking at this time is development funding, where an equity investor is betting not on the success of the film, but rather simply on the prospect of funding. The full budget for the film is $6 million. The current ask is for $300k, which will allow for the production to attach 3 key items that will allow us to secure the full funding needed to complete the film:
1. A Casting Director
2. A Bankable star
3. A seasoned producer who can secure the full budget
As soon as the film is funded, the development investor gets back their full investment, plus a 20% bonus. The process should take under a year. If the film is made and ends up as a complete flop, the investor would still make a 20% profit.
