Hi ,Â
Â
PJ Woodside and her partner have been making their own low budget horror flicks for 9+ years and she shares how they did it on almost no budget, while building a fan base, distribution and a reputation. Â
Â
She highlights 7 things that were crucial to their success and they are valuable pieces of insight. You never know when just one nugget of info is going to change your path - a simple click or light bulb in the brain is often the difference between a film that is seen vs one that never sees the light of the day.
Â
Of particular interest to us is the mention of needing "releases about nearly everything or risk getting sued. The people, the crew, the images, the locations, the music -- having rights to everything prevented lots of headaches down the road."
Â
This is why we created our Filmmaker Legal Pack. Without all legal docs, consents and releases to everything about your film, from everyone involved - lights, grips, talent, and yes, even the caterers - you have nothing in which to invest. And we're all about helping you make your film the best investment possible. Â
- Script Purchase Agreement
- Script Option Agreement
- Music Release / Composer's Work For Hire Contract
- Cast and Crew Release Form
- Deferred Compensation Agreement
- Shooting Location Request & Release Agreement
- Life Rights Agreement
- Crowd Release Form
- + Bonuses:Â IP Rights and the Film Making Process Report, Expert Legal Reports & More
***Note: To protect your Chain of Title, filmmakers also need E&O Insurance and proof your screenplay is registered with the WGA & USCO, not included in our legal pack.Â

Podcast below is a bit painful to listen to, but does offer great info.

Melissa, so far the Film Proposal Platinum package has been fantastic. For a first time producer, this toolkit has guided me on a great starting point and has really energized my writer/director into taking this move to get his film made very seriously. The legal
document templates have
already paid off by getting the option contract done without having to pay for an attorney review.
Looking forward to using the rest of the toolkit as we prepare our investor financials, budget, and sales projection documents. Using the toolkit, we are halfway done with our business plan, saving us months of work. Even though I've only used a small amount of the toolkit thus far it has already made a difference in getting this project up and
running.
- Thanks, Robert   Such an amazing resource for indie filmmakers. I'm an attorney and still found loads of value from these materials. I had some foundation established but the Platinum Bundle gave me so many more ideas to make my presentations so much better. Thank you, Melissa, for making these resources available!- Dori, Attorney & Producer  Undervalued! Honestly, the more I reviewed the assets of this package, the more I thought there had been a mistake, and that I was accidentally given a higher priced kit. It's unbelievable the amount of time, research, education and competency that is offered here. What this will save you in preparation is only surpassed by what this will earn you in execution. If you're looking for ROI, this is the Slumdog Millionaire of Film Business Toolkits. Get it...and get to work!  Melissa, I was extremely hesitant in purchasing even your lowest priced package. It all sounded to good to be true. I
spent 2 months last year writing a business plan from scratch for a different medium. So I just couldn't imagine getting anything worth while for the prices you were offering. But I have an investor that requested a detailed plan with financial projections within 2 weeks, so I pulled the trigger on your Gold + Financials Filmmaker Bundle. It was the best money I've ever spent! Can't even
begin to tell you what a difference it makes. So concise and on point. Makes putting the plan together so fluid and easy. Not having to worry about what to cover, only how to best state it for my film project. Amazing. Thank you so much. Worth every dollar! |
