I have some ideas, but I don’t think I would be so lucky to actually try to get things made in Hollywood, so I’ve a mind to produce it myself (it worked for Shane Carruth). I don’t know where I’d go or what research I’d need to conduct to embark on such an undertaking. Is there a community somewhere or some notable figures who are disposed to give advice to a first-time filmmaker?
I don’t know if there are any independent filmmaker groups, but if you read Bruce Campbell’s if chins could talk he goes into what Ted and Sam Raimy had to go through in order to make the first evil Dead movie.
Basically, they made an independent movie that was super cheap and showed it to some well-to-do dentists and got them to invest in making The cabin in the woods which is the precursor to the evil Dead series, and used The cabin in the woods to get more funding to make the first evil Dead movie.
It was a lot of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and they go into much more detail in the book then I’m talking about. There are also a lot of other books from Independent movie Makers who figured out ways to get funding, and you should definitely look into them. Your local library will be an invaluable resource
