so, just for fun, I looked at your site.

so here ya go. You wanted feed back, here it is.
You aren't not going to like this, but... SPEND SOME MONEY.

Get a web designer and rework the site to sell your film. Right now it's boring as , well, shall we say hell...

If you cannot draw, then get someone to draw some story boards, and some renderings from what will be the film. Create an interesting and intriguing couple of Film Posters and put them up on the site.

Write a decent synopsis with some excitement. This is a WAR drama... Good and Evil... It must have some smidgin of excitement in it... ...oh, and add a log line.

Where is your research about films of the same genre.. Where is your project plan? Where is your executive summary? Where is your basic budget estimate? Where are you character breakdowns?
Hire a Line Producer to spend a few days with you roughing out the budget, and the plan.

If you are trying to land a Producer, hire one for God's sake...

If you are looking for crew, then make the film at least SOUND interesting.

Definitely get your script reviewed by a professional screenwriter... Hire a ghost writer to help you. If the script is as dry as the site, it's never gonna fly.

Any way... I'm being brutal, because being nice isn't going to help you in the long run.

Bottom line if you don't believe in your project enough to spend some money putting together some decent marketing, no one else is going to believe in it either.

cheers

It sounds like you're running before you can even crawl here man.

I know you want to make a movie, but it's not that simple, and I know you're going to say "I know that" but I don't think you truly do until you actually make you're first film.

As in Produce, Direct, Edit etc.

I don't know what you want from your producer - but if one of their jobs is to raise funds for your project that's going to be extremely hard if they've got nothing to back up their words besides "Hey I've got this awesome script!"

Everyone and their grandmothers wants to be a filmmaker, you have to find a way to make yourself stand out if you want people to get excited about your film. And just pointing people to different parts of your website isn't really helpful.

So please. Just tell us the following so we can help you.

1. What do you want your producer to do.

2. Where are you filming this movie?

3. Do you know where you want this movie to be shown at?

4. How much do you think this film will cost?

5. When is your desired deadline?

6. What does this producer get in return for their help on your film?

And please don't tell us this info is on your website or that you've posted it before. I've looked at your site-I've found close to no helpful information, and I don't want to crawl through this forum as I have other things to do.
