CREATEABULL BLOG http://www.createabullfilms.com/blog/ Follow our progress as we take a film project from re-writing to financing through the production and distribution. In addition, Ethan shares his knowledge about filmmaking and the film industry. If you have a question or topic you would like to discuss, please email: info@createabullfilms.com. en Copyright 2009 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 17:44:13 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.16 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss My new home and an offer for indie filmmakers I haven't blogged on this site in a pretty looooong while... I've been blogging as a character that I created centered around politics for the past year but since the election is over, it's on to a new project over at a new blog/site.

You can check it out here.

Now for the offer... if you are an indie filmmaker and you don't really know how to go about raising money for your film, I am willing to email you in .pdf format, the offering plan, budget and script for "Produced By Jimmy Wade" (the project) IF you sign up for my email list on my new site. When I was trying to create this package, I looked everywhere online and couldn't find an example so wanting to give back, I'm willing to share it with you. This is only to be used as a template/guidlines for your own projects. I still do intend to make this film... someday.

Anyway, check out the new home and shoot me an email via "my list" if you want to see how I raised 6.5% of my $3 million budget... who knows, maybe 6.5% of $3 million is all you need to make YOUR project.

Thanks for reading...

Best,
Ethan Bull
