We in the general public don't really understand what goes into making a film. We just show up and watch it on the big screen. Jim, you need educate the people! <br />- One of the members of the general publicShaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102023632739251955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731677775148546456.post-54534606553759966982009-10-07T21:22:29.402-07:002009-10-07T21:22:29.402-07:00You're gonna write a book when this is over, r...You're gonna write a book when this is over, right, Jim?

And they usually write big checks. There are very specific rules about who can invest, called Blue sky laws, meaning that an investor has to have a worth of at least $1 million or earn at least $200,000 a year. This protects both me and the small investor who can't really afford to invest.Jim Makichukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012662767388461252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731677775148546456.post-31111947249269006712009-10-06T19:32:33.174-07:002009-10-06T19:32:33.174-07:00Wow - things are really looking good for you! I...Wow - things are really looking good for you! I'm so glad. This post was very informative. I had some idea about the funding process (and the complications involved) and the fact that in Canada this usually extends the amount of time it takes to make a movie (sometimes by a lot) but seriously... no money from private investors at all? Incredible. I still don't get that part. So if I wanted to invest a grand towards your movie, I couldn't do it unless I was incorporated or part of some funding agency?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731677775148546456.post-83729528693148296842009-10-06T07:26:06.216-07:002009-10-06T07:26:06.216-07:00Hoor-eh!
