- If an investor asks a simple question, give a simple answer.
- If you care about the film you are making, it is a passion project. It does not matter if it is low-budget, experimental or a high-budget action adventure.
- The investor needs to know all the plot points of the film from start to finish in one page.
- No matter their personal reasons for investing, there are two things all film investors want to know: how much money am I going to make and when am I going to make it?
- Avoid foolish forecasting. If I had told potential investors that The Blair Witch Project, a very low-budget film, was going to earn $352 million dollars worldwide, which it did, no one would ever hire me.
