The Trials and Tribulations of Financing a Movie…

Filed under: Uncategorized — bobbylogan @ 6:38 pm

I must admit that I sometimes wonder why, oh why, I’m still in the movie business.

The odds of getting a film financed are on a par with winning a lottery. And that’s the part that drives me crazy. Getting the money. It’s easier to get Paris Hilton to say a four-syllabel word.

So far I’ve been lucky — I guess I’ve won four lotteries (having made four feature films). But, now I’m chomping at the bit to get my next movie going…

…F TROOP.

It’s a feature film version of the classic 1960s ABC-TV comedy-western series “F Troop.” I can honestly say it was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Loved it. Now I have the goal of beginning production on this film this coming spring.

Now, all I have to do is get the money!

Thoughts anyone?

  1. well you allways got the option to make some fast money by selling yourself on the street…
    otherwise you could allso try to lend out your family at the local sircus…
    or find yourself a old rich guy and marrie him (make sure he dosent have a long time left or else you might get some pain in your ass if he lives too long)
    or else you can help shorten his lifespan by poison him… its all up to your fantasy…
    good luck tho

  2. And YOU have the option of getting “spelling lessons.”

    Which, by the way, I strongly suggest. ;)

  4. Sure. I’ll do the teaching.

    First lesson:

    1. “Fammily” should be “family.”

    2. “Dosent” should be “doesn’t.”

    Tomorrow’s lesson:

    How to have sex without having to pay for it.

    Comment by kim — December 26, 2006 @ 3:13 am

  27. Kim — three women at once? Trust me, bud, you’re trending on shaky ground. And I know from where I speak. Been there, got nailed by that. Anyway, hope it’s fun while it lasts. ;)

    Christmas was fairly peaceful and nice. My daughter was out of town visiting her mother in North Carolina, so it wasn’t quite the same as previous years. But, nice none the less.

    Happy New Year!
