I've written my sctipr, had a first reading which was quite succesful.
I'm hoping to find resources on creating a business plan. I'm guessing
that would be important in raising the funds to make the film. I've
never asked for money to make a film before, so this is new to me.
Unfortunately the film doesn't have explosions or aliens or computer
graphics, and only very very limited nudity (if at all), So it isn't
imediately commercial. However the characters are interesting, and there
are meaty roles for older actor/acress, not just my thoughts, those who
have read the script so far think so.
Specificly the film is a love story, with humor but not a romantic
comedy, nor dramedy. There is both happiness and sorrow.
So anyone with suggestions on resources for creating a business plan, I
would appreciate it.
Thanks
