Barely making our money back... and voila 2 years later, a good buddy of mine who owns a big AVOD platform approached us with almost the same proposal you are talking about ... " Making horror/drama/thriller movies for max of 50 K cash and consideration". My answer was NO there is NO upside in it, he claims there is. Your post here is for the 2nd time I am hearing this formulae.

FYI: I have been to every AFMA /Cannes and Berlin market since 1992 as a distributor until about 2005. That being with staff, booths, add budgets etc.... After that it made NO economic sense. I have skipped AFMA but still do Cannes and Berlin....it is a famine there for anything unless it has a huge budget !!

... but if you have a distribution model where there is some money to be made ,I am interested. I do NOT need crowd funding I can finance my share myself.

I will watch this thread and see how it develops.
