Here's the ENTERTAINING SOLUTIONS HFF Takeover (Proposal):
I go by First Features, because if I gave out my name you would know everything about me and I am not that important. My background, the people and the world around me, that is what is really important. I was put here to help launch the rapid evolution of the entertainment industry.
1) We need to make movies that do more than just entertain. We need films that actually offer possible solutions to the problems we face in the world today. This is the future of the industry. People will go to the cinema, not to forget about their problems, but to find solutions to them. Eventually these films, that will be a meld between the doc and the narrative feature, will actually institute solutions while being produced. How about that for rapid evolution. Films that uplift, inspire and make their audiences believe that anything is possible.
2) How about the filmmaker, the people making the films. They obviously have problems, too. They often have problems raising the money to make their low-budget independent projects. Well, we have a solution for that as well. What if an investor could invest in a movie and get their money back, plus a profit, even before the film is released? If the movie makes money, it would only be icing on the cake. If they get a credit on the film, that would be the cherry on top.
This way, the filmmaker, can make the film they want to make and not worry about the approval or interference from the money people.
3) How about getting their film distributed. Yes, the filmmaker also worries about that, and of course they should. The world of distribution is often uglier than that of production. What if they could get as much as 100% of their sales? Is that even possible? Yes, it is, and when you're making good money on your film, you can make your next one and the one after that.
4) What if you could shoot a film anywhere in the world, at any point in time, and do it on a budget. All of this is possible. And you don't need stars. It is not just horror films that can be done low-budget and without name players, you just need to know the secret of how to do it successfully.
5) Yes, we can give these concrete answers and more on our substack, and we won't charge for it. Of course, Substack should get something out of it and we can make sure they get their rewards, as well.
Okay, that's a rough draft of what my HFF Takeover would be about. Any suggestions for improvements are welcome.
