Hi, thanks in advance for any advice about this.
I'm co-writing/directing a feature and I don't know how to go about it DIY style. My mind caves in when thinking about this actually.
I've read many books and articles, and have been googling this question but all I ever get is "Step 3. Find a producer. Step 4. Raise money." And the SEC and LLCs... I get that I need to find someone who really understands this stuff.
Is it a lawyer I need (and must pay for out of pocket as we have no money yet) or an AD to do a schedule?
So far I have a great script (as confirmed by feedback from multiple industry professionals), a Sundance award winning DP and a well known actress as one of the leads. I also have a young actor, coming out in a pretty big blockbuster 2012. The actors are close friends and very supportive of the project so they are not asking their regular quotes.
Any advice?? Thank you!
