Worse, what if you did reduce your budget - and vision - and then the project that you have spent so long getting to market ends up disappearing in a sea of no-budget and poor quality movies? While the micro budget film world is going crowdfunding crazy... ...there is still an industry, as focused as ever, financing films from a mix of funding sources, including: pre-sales, broadcasters, equity investment, soft money, etc… and making movies budgeted in the (low) millions, movies that reach global audiences – sure they are still low budget by Hollywood standards, but blimey, what could we do with a £million budget? Meet the man who has done it... eleven times as a Producer and eighteen times as an Executive Producer Richard Holmes is a prolific British producer who has consistently produced feature films for between £1m and £2m for the past 20 years. In this candid and unique one day seminar he will share exactly how he - and you - can develop, finance, produce and sell feature films with a budget in excess of £1million – the budget that allows for a sellable cast, proper distribution, foreign sales and a world class profile. ‘It’s like a 2 year MA in one day!’
Cera Rose Pickering // Screenwriter and Producer // 5 stars | But everyone is turning to micro budget filmmaking now... Right? I don’t need a £million to make my film do I? Well no, but... One of the things that sells a movie, both to the distributors and audiences at the end of the chain, is your cast. Ask any sales agent - after they have asked you about the title and genre, the first thing they will ask is ‘who’s in it?’ If you say ‘unknowns’, you may well hear the familiar click of the phone hanging up! Named actors who can deliver performances worthy of your screenplay will not only raise the artistic quality of your film, but also its commercial viability. Also, if your micro budget film is a success, your £million film will follow, and everyone will expect you to be prepared for it. ‘Sage advice from a prolific producer’
Mike Mindel // Screenwriter and Producer // 5 stars I can’t raise a £million can I? Actually yes you can. As Richard will show, even though it is a graft, raising £1million is not rocket science. He will show you just how to model your project so you make it attractive to producing partners and financiers. The key here is that while you will drive the project, you will also work alongside experienced partner producers and Executive Producers - people with targeted skills and relationships - and draw from their experience and networks. Remember, the film industry is screaming out for killer projects being driven by determined filmmakers. Can you step up your game? Hearing from an active and prolific producer who is regularly getting films financed in the millions was a revelation’
Gail Hackston // Writer and producer // 5 Stars | Get The Paperwork Having real world budgets and other critical documents from a real world film, direct from the producers laptop, can be hugely illuminating – and Richard is prepared to share those documents with you – partially redacted of course, for legal reasons. This paperwork will show you, line by line, exactly where the money goes on his £1m films, compared to your own micro budget experiences. Gold dust. Unlike ANY other course A lifelong career in film is dependent on making a SECOND film. The first film is easy by comparison. And a smart filmmaker would lay the plans for that all important second film before they even made the first, just like Chris Nolan did with ‘Memento’, his second film that was produced right after his debut ‘Following’.
We know of no other workshop that details the step by step process you need to follow when transitioning into fully funded productions. Richard has been there and got the T shirt, plus he is also an exceptional communicator. We guarantee you will leave with a sense of purpose, direction and clarity. ‘It is wonderful to be in such a positive and energising environment’
