Real Numbers

So here is an analysis of the economics of an indy movie budgeted at a million pounds.

These numbers look real to me. And note that relatively speaking this is a freaking success story. The short answer is that it cost $1.3 million and of that it lost $700K.

    I suggest you leave those numbers out of your investor's prospectus. :)

    I could shoot so many features for 1.3 million pounds. On 35mm. Heck, might as well go anamorphic 35 with that kind of money.

    I can lose $700,000 on a DOZEN features! ;-)

    I know, right? Welcome to the art house world.

My lawyer says we have to protect ourselves: note that we're constantly developing screenplays, we probably have a screenplay like what you suggest in development. Furthermore, if you suggest an idea for a screenplay you're giving us that idea.
