Despite the backslapping, smiles, compliments and other paraphernalia 'jolibudiense', a Mecca of cinema has been little body for parties since the economic crisis made its "premiere" in style on Wall Street , with a cast exception on a carpet of red. Senior executives were left with a dry mouth and liquidity, as usual in this world of stars, few "friends" who call you to buy you a drink when financial planets align against you. But if you suffer some consequence studies, with budget cuts and layoffs become more frequent (Lionsgate and The Weinstein Company and sold off treatment), it gets ugly when down a step, the small independent producers .
No one wants to dance with these Cinderellas to not trust them or the corner grocer. No matter if they have a good story, if your approach is more humane or if they have a dynamic, talented and cheap. For the latest Hollywood class banks closed indefinitely with an aseptic "come back tomorrow."
They are however these tessituras of life that sharpen the wit and allow the implementation of ideas that can get to rearrange the order of things.
Could finance a film based donanciones of thousands of small investors?, For the filmmaker Alice Carin the answer is yes. Without hesitating this unknown recently published the following advertisement in The Nation:
"Wanted: 1,700 brave investors each willing to drop $ 30 in exchange for being co executive produced a film about illegal graffiti in the streets of New York. The reward: a coup in favor of artistic freedom. "
The future profits of the film, which is called "Do not See This, according to the filmmaker, go to finance cultural programs in public schools in New York.
For some a disparte, for others a temptation. Becoming an film producer for $ 30? ... That is something one does every day. The director achieved his film and it would be an investment in your future, who knows if this story will make millions.
The big studios like Warner, Universal and Paramount will not go through the ring yet, but this democratization of production executive, a position far enough elite, combined with tools like the Internet, could globalize the creation of individual projects in which the main argument was the illusion, the enthusiasm and above all, good ideas. Or not feasible a film produced by members of an online community that would make your payment through Pay Pal, but you live in South Africa and one in Kathmandu? Projects that could then be released in thousands of countries simultaneously over the Internet (and in some movie theaters also, of course).
