Movie Money: Confidential

This doc helped me enter deeper into the film financing process than ever before. I learned a lot from the featured producers and investors and took many notes from them. Movie Money Confidential is brilliant, inspirational, grounded, and practical. The production value impressed me too. Watch it now on streaming platforms like Vudu, Amazon Prime Video, PLEX, and Tubi, and see what a difference it will make in your worldview of filmmaking!

You'll also want to pick up a copy of Louise Levison's book, Filmmakers and Financing Business Plans for Independents, which inspired Movie Money Confidential.

Rick and Maggie, the whole cast are magnificent. This is the conversation and information that all filmmakers need, but can't find. This is it! There's a load of insight for anyone with aspirations to make films.

Louse Levinson is a great source with experience and knowledge like no one else.

Scott DuPont is great as well.

What this film does is bring the viewer into the conversation, the way it really is and what they can expect. I wish I had seen this before I made our film, it would have answered so many questions.

The best part is that there's no one looking to get into your pocket, they're just trying to educate the viewer on the way it really works.

My curiosity was raised when I read the description of this movie. Interesting. Never seen such a movie about this subject being made. Burt Reyolds starring in it? Yes, count me in! NOT.

The bad: the only good thing was seeing Burt Reynolds being interviewed about the movie business. He has changed quite a bit, due to ageing, but he is still the man. But unfortunately even his surprising contribution didnt make this movie worth a watch. Why not?

This is a TEDIOUS TALKING HEADS movie. NO ONE, has the answer on how to raise money for a movie, but EVERYONE has an opinion, some valid and interesting, most other opinions were open doors and water under the bridge.

Not the interesting doc I imagined it would be. The opposite was true. Quite tedious and completely uneventful without any surprising insights whatsoever.

Rick, you've really outdone yourself this time! I was recently taking a trip and I saw your film as the top choice of available films in the plane. Amazing! I got to my hotel and sure enough, your film was on two of the platforms. You've hit gold this time!!

This film will be a must-see in every film school across America for years to come. No wonder you're honored in the 9th edition of Louise Levison's book, FILMMAKERS AND FINANCING.

Along with film legend Burt Reynolds in his last film ever, you bring hope and understanding to so many independent filmmakers who are unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Coupled with greats Salma Hayek, Scott duPont, Maggie Pamplin, and the esteemed Louise Levison, you pull back the curtain on many of the financing secrets and offer the filmmaker something to strive for.

I will be looking for your future films and following your rise in the independent film world. It's always great to see Burt, what an honor it must have been to be so close with him.

-Dan Griffin, Producer.

The favorable reviews must be from people that were in this documentary. After the first few minutes I thought it actually might be a mockumentary. Calling this a movie is a stretch. Starring Selma Hayek? They lifted a Selma Hayek interview and cut it into this production. Pretty laughable.

A good portion of this film is talking to random people who may or may not have ever actually been involved with a movie. Look them up on IMBD! This is in addition to about 45 minutes taking questions on panel interviews from high school students and other random people that showed up to a local restaurant.

Lord knows how they managed to get an interview with Burt Reynolds. What a shame/sham!

Please don't watch this...
