Movie Money: Confidential

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.

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.

I'm blown away from this highly insightful movie. Exceeded my expectations. To see and hear Hollywood industrial-business secrets from cinematic legends was most compelling. I can't believe this documentary flew under my radar. Digital technological advancement has changed Hollywood's business model. Long gone are the days of yore like the nineties Kevin Smith success strategies. Movie Money Confidential gives the viewer a glimpse into viable steps to compete and succeed in todays market. It's an interesting and fun documentative exploration, into movie-making, for aspiring artists and casual observers. Confidential disclosure will terrify some and liberate others. BOOM!

While this film gives great tips to the independent filmmaker, I'm also a fan of its interesting format and entertainment value. While, Rick himself is a fantastic interviewer, when you add, the average man on the street, A-list stars, and tongue-in-cheek humor by way of an infomercial, this movie is a must-see. I am interested in filmmaking, but my spouse isn't. We both watched and enjoyed it multiple times. Among other things it has motivated me to continue my work and never abandon my passion. The film goes beyond financing and touches on writing, pitching and more. I didn't just rent it, I purchased it. If anyone thinks they can't get their movie made they haven't seen Movie Money Confidential. I highly recommend it.

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!
