The Story Behind SnagFilms
SHOW THE PLAN TO A REAL BUSINESS FOR MONEY. 15-9-4, each round, treasure the angel investors... I couldn't be creative anymore, inspired to make some movies. Movies by industry perspective are winners- Nanking and Kicking It. Less than 10% in Sundance ever get to Tribeca, then they were purchased by a studio to bring it into theaters. ESPN bought my second film. landed the licensing and distribution. Meet fellow filmmakers who are passionate, get angel financing, package something up, they ship on time. 10/15 get your DVD, in '07 when I sent Nanking. Sundance had 175 films, 12 got bought for distribution. '08, 9500 submissions, 128 submissions, 8 bought for distribution. harder to get into sundance than it is to get into Harvard. $56K for first film, then make copies.. every copy creates a more terrible copy. 25K films will be made, but a whole class will get dropped. G-town rejected perfect scores CHAIRMAN OF CLEARSPRING- do a promotion for Paramount studios- Cloverfield, don't want to spend the money on TV. We do this widget, if you take it, the guy with the most friends who watch clip- JJ Abrams ad... 45K grab the widget and over 32M people watch this thing. Movie- Kicking It, opening in a theater. You buy the film in January... goes into a theater in June. 400 theaters who show independent film. 50 movies= week each. Best documentary films did $3M in box office combined. $25M at box office, Jeff Skoll saw no money at all. Mad as hell, not going to take it anymore. SnagFilms-gone to all these little studios, Sundance, etc.- give me the best films that never saw the light of day. I'll turn them into film widgets. Going to filmmakers, I want people to be afilmanthropist. I need 1T pixels, and I'm gonna open up 5M movie theaters on your pages. If ou're political blogger, you can take RFK remembered... 5M
