Hello, This site was recommended to me as a possible contact for finding angel investing in a film/video 2-slate project currently in pre-production. Below is a short synopsis. Our budget is a meager $40,000, with a roll-out date projected for summer of 2009. Please let me know if you're interested. Thank you very much for your time! ~Edra Morledge
_____________________________________________________ This is a two-fold project: 1) we're shooting a professional, marketable cultural documentary product with a National Geographic/Discovery flavor, and 2) we're shooting a travel show pilot. We will be traveling to Flores, Indonesia, for approximately 15 days to shoot these two projects. Synopsis 1. The Documentary: This will highlight the culture, the beauty, the geography, touch on such things as the economy and other societal factors, and accentuate WHY one should visit this island. Really a "National Geographic" or "Discovery" style piece, if you will, but hosted in a casual and entertaining manner. The focus is anthropological, historical, and cultural...all buffered by recreation. There will be explanation and information on local culture and lore given by our guide. This will be scripted and will highlight five different locations on Flores Island. It will be approximately 1-hour in length and will be targeted for film festivals, PBS or network programming. 2. The Travel Show Pilot: While shooting the first project, the documentary, we will be shooting "behind the scenes" so to speak. We will be making more of a casual travel show. This will be edited into a 50-minute travel show. Our focus is on rural guides in rural areas, and how to bring tourism (economic development), into the spotlight for their area. The show will be broken into 5-minute blocks that can stand alone, but will also be cleanly edited to feature length for showing at film festivals, and airing on PBS or network programming. Incentives for any investors includes film credits, a negotiable share in the production company which forms out of this endeavor, plus industry-standard return on any profit redeemed out of the marketing/distribution of the films.
