Executive Producer Expressway Series
Every filmmaker wants to find investors, but once you find them you have to close them. There are ways to finance your film besides equity investment anyway. Every good Executive Producer knows this about Film Financing, and they know how to use these tools to maximize the profitability of a film.
There's more to attaching a star than picking up the phone, there's a difference between a deck and a look book. There's also a difference between an LOI and a Presale, but you probably need one before you can get the other. Every good Executive Producer Knows this about Packaging, and they know how to do every part of it.
Marketing is different than distribution. marketing involves finding your audience and turning them into a community. It involves building a brand for yourself and your company, maximizing your visibility, getting covered in the press, getting featured on podcasts, and maintaining a presence online, Every good Executive Producer knows this, and they've become experts in using these tactics to convince people to buy their wares.
Distribution is different than marketing. While marketing convinces your audience and your community to buy your creations, distribution makes them available. Without Marketing, Distribution is worthless, and the reverse is true. Yet a bad distribution deal is far worse than doing it yourself. Understanding how to vet a distribution deal is vital to pay back your investors, as is understanding how to maximize not only the upfront payment but all the payments that come afterwards. A good executive producer knows the deal points, and what they should be. A great one knows what they can negotiate and what isn't worth it. If they didn't their investors wouldn't stick with them for long.
This 4 workshop package will transform you into an executive producer capable of all that and more. It includes IndieFilm Packaging Like a Pro, Film Financing FAST! Mastering Movie Marketing, and Avoiding distribution Disasters. Just from that, you save more than 40% from buying them individually.
