Cornell Hampton's Lounge Discussions

Hi Van, Have you ever thought about getting a co writer? Someone that can help feel in the gaps . Someone that provides the things that your missing when writing. Besides a project can move quicker with other eyes on it as well as pushing it to thru the industry. Good luck my friend.

Thanks Cornell for the advice :)

Thanks Julia and Ismael :)

I just posted a link for video on budgets: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing/When-Do-You-Ask-For-That-Favor

Hey Cas, I can probably help get you a solid ball park estimate, shoot me a message when you have time.

Hey, Matt Ralston I may want to hire the guy behind you!

Jack Sprat Fantastic response, sir! I was just advising a mentee the other day about figuring out your schedule before attempting the budget because the majority of your budget will be wages for crew.

Great recommendation, Jack Sprat! Actually, if you find those videos, could you start a post with those links? That would be a great conversation-starter!

Thanks for sharing, Adite Banerjie! That's really good to know!

Welcome. :)

hi Karen. the easy way around this is go to your local college and get a teacher that specializes in that language. They will love to help you, free of charge. cornell.....

Thanks for all your suggestions. Much appreciated. I found a really good translator who's also a Director's assistant. She spoke to the Hindi-speaking possible Funder in Hindi. She found out his terms and they were not workable for us - way way too expensive and unreasonable!. We set up a conference call to see if he was at all flexible and he refused to participate.

Hi Joanna,

I hope you are in good health. As you are dealing with films, let me explain something, which, I am sure, you are aware of too. I have seen films, which have incurred huge budget but their stories are humdrum and dry. Comparing my stories with theirs, I find mine quite interesting and exciting, plus educationally prolific. I wonder why those producers and filmmakers are not taking advantages of good stories to at least offset their expenses, time, and efforts.

Best wishes,

Sayed H. Rohani

Thank you for the information Jane Sanger. I can assist with my ebook Funding for Internship and Scholarship Programs resources.

Thank you. How does that work?

My book can make or save you as much as you need. I can also assist as a SME (Subject Matter Expert).

Hi jane. what do you need help with, that I can assist you? cornell

Hi Cornell sorry I never saw this. We just need a little more money to complete the longer sizzle/teaser about £5,000. Already got £25,000 and started making the teaser. If you can help I can show you the footage stills already taken and various other stuff. Please email me info@luminofilms.co.uk

Presentation of the original business model can make all the difference. If the investors and producers have a clear vision of the project details and how funding will be utilized and ROI is crystal clear, less confusion later. With each of my projects on my project page, the principal will not be jeopardized but invested throughout to ensure that all investors never lose their initial investment.

"ROI is crystal clear" Where can I find that crystal ball? My old crystal ball is getting a bit hazy when it comes to ROI, Y(sub e), NOI, PR and all those other little matters. I remain sceptical.

The additional items can be factored into the final agreement by substituting some expenses. (ex. sponsorships, reciprocal advertising, insurance on the production -source Stage 32 Blog article.).

Sorry but I'm old school. Sounds to me like you're using those new fangled millennial accounting procedures - I remain sceptical.

You need help writing the story?

sounds like great idea
