HORRORFEST Launches Film Business Class - starts Nov 17th
For
a limited time in Los Angeles, HOLLYWOOD HORRORFEST's Miles Flanagan
is running a series of industry alumni mentored classes for low budget
filmmakers entitled HOW TO MAKE A MOVIE THAT MAKES MONEY.
"I
was shocked when I discovered most low budget indies fail to make money. When I
discovered why, and how that could be changed, I wanted to pass that on to
others" says
Flanagan.
Flanagan
is passionate about helping filmmakers. "What makes this class
different is our focus on how to make your film PROFITABLE. We even teach you
how to increase your film's chances of profitability BEFORE the script is
written."
"We
have some amazing guests from the world of Horror and Indie filmmaking and all
students get free production software too" continues Flanagan. "And
profits support HHF 2015, so it's a win-win for all."
The
first HOLLYWOOD HORRORFEST - presenting the inaugural PRICE
AWARD (in association with VICTORIA PRICE) to JOE DANTE, and
the IMPACT AWARD to DICK MILLER - was a tremendous success,
selling over 1,500 tickets at QUENTIN TARANTINO's NEW BEVERLY CINEMA in
Los Angeles earlier in 2014.
HHF raised funds for the VINCENT PRICE ART MUSEUM and
screened some amazing films, but also launched the incredibly popular A
PANEL TO DIE FOR - a bulls**t free panel of industry alumni - covering
everything from equity finance to sales and distribution.
FRAMEHOPPING.COM summed up that panel
perfectly:
“This
panel was phenomenal I have never learned so much in such a short amount of
time.”
But
what was apparent from the panel was that filmmakers didn't understand the
business. Since no-one was teaching it. Most think because they have a great
idea, script, film, or even distribution then it's going to be profitable.
Wrong.
Our
series of evening classes (1 day a week for 4 weeks) empower filmmakers. 10
students get to be mentored and learn how to make their film profitable and to
keep making profitable films over and over again.
"We
deliberately kept classes small, only 10 students, so they can get the most
from them."
Classes
cover film development, finance, production, sales, marketing and distribution
- all with the focus on making your film profitable. Students get
one-on-one mentoring from Flanagan and his guests, who include ROLFE
KANEFSKY (Megafoot, Nightmare Man), ERIK LUNDMARK (Leomark -
Sales Agent), MIKE DAVIS (Pervert, President Wolfman), MARLON
SCHULMAN (Equity Finance & Legal), ROBERT HAYES & JOSEPH
GUZMAN (Nude Nuns With Big Guns) and SHAUN PICCININO (The
Lackey, Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde).
Flanagan
states "After years struggling to make movies I now follow this
advice totally and have one film in release (DVD and VOD), another currently in
production and a slate of 3 more over the next 2 years. I feel more confident
now about filmmaking than I ever have."
"The
classes were created from over 6 years research. Because of the film festivals
I run I befriended so many people in the industry (creatives, sales and
marketing, investors, distributors). I was always intrigued by the business
side of things. Since I was a complete novice I was never scared of asking
so-called 'stupid' questions. Consequently I got very honest and candid
answers. I regularly attended AFM and asked more questions. I made a feature
film and learnt even more - about the buying and selling of that PRODUCT in the
marketplace. The classes are based on my experiences and those of all my
knowledgable guests."
"These
classes are packed with so much honest advice that they're invaluable to any
series filmmaker."
All
students get over $33 dollars worth of FREE production software (from D-View,
Shot-Lister, Pocket Call Sheet) and massive discounts on others (Scripts Pro).
Plus FREE budget templates and working templates for DVD boxes, Executive
Summaries and necessary Promotional Artwork.
For
a limited time, classes cost only $299 (that's less than $75 per
class - plus FREE software). Registration is open and is limited to 10
students.
Classes
begin Nov.17th in Los Angeles.
