Paradigm Shift

From a business and philosophical perspective, the traditional financial model for securing funding for a movie and theatrical distribution, IMHO, is not sustainable, nor equitable. Especially for independent filmmakers.


This paradigm shift has been begging to surface in support of Independent Filmmakers with potential to benefit ALL parties who believe in the power of supporting good stories.

I can hear some folks custom to the "Hollywood Model" argue that funding channels will not be drawn to support film projects with the proposed paradigm shift terms. That's the shift - step outside what has been to what could be to benefit all parties.


Audiences are hungry for solid, good entertaining stories with relatable characters they can get lost in for a couple of hours.


Funding and distribution supporters are people who will resonate with an emotional response to your story, it's message and the overall value of your film.


On behalf of all Independent Filmmakers, we deserve an equal footing with the major studios to earn a healthy return for our years of hard work and dedication to our purpose driven calling to unite people around the world through the magic of inspirational stories!


And...this model I propose offers the opportunity to provide an avenue to continue to create AND pay it forward to support other filmmakers and causes dear to your heart.


You got this!
