I need an investor so I can get my zombie film done and I don't know anybody that has a lot of money to invest in a movie. So do any of you know any rich folk?

Feel free to suggest (if you can be serious for a moment) fundraising ideas for the film too.

And FYI... if this film gets made, anybody can be a zombie in it because we're gonna need so many zombies it'll be pretty ridiculous. As for what the film is about, that's somethin I'm keepin to myself for now. But it has ZOMBIES damnit! What more do you need?

What kind of budget are we talkin' here?

Evil Robot · #4

how many thousand monetary units we talkin about heya?

The Retro Kat · #5

Bake sale dude, no matter what, it'll cover it.

Zomboid · #6

You're really gonna make a movie? I wanna be a director but I've never thought about how to actually get the funding... Good luck though. AND FOR YOUR OWN SAKE MAN, DON'T LET IT BE LIKE "Redneck zombies"!

James · #7

They're already making an RE sequel, Rog.

Sadly.

Ninjavenom · #8

If i get a job i can funnel profits to you discreetly. Also, don't eat between now and when you have sufficient funding.

Me and wreck were going to make a zombie movie

Sounds cool

But for everyone's sake, make it partly comedy. Not a few bad quips here and there and cheesy puns anyone could have predicted, but use the true I-mockery humor.

I thought house of 1000 corpses was a comedy at first..

James · #12

Jixby, as long as you didn't like the RE movie, I'll send you $5 to get you started. I'll also star in your film as Johnny Stuntcock, the 11-year-old child porn actor who suddenly finds himself in the middle of the whole fiasco.

Well thats good, to have some twists to it.

You could always place a classified ad that says "looking for investors".

And there's always this, but unless you live in Orange County, you're dead out of luck.

How much money do you expect to need? And do you expect to turn a profit?

The best question on this thread. If you desperately need it, contact me, I can send you a bit of cash, only under the pretense that I can be a mindless zombie near the centre of the camera shot.

Believe me, I can chant "Bluuaaahhh" with the best of 'em while pretending to eat brains.

Let the gay jokes go, okay?

Wait, this is I-Mock. Fuck it. Bring it on.

Ok I guess I should answer a few of these things...

AND FOR YOUR OWN SAKE MAN, DON'T LET IT BE LIKE "Redneck zombies"!

No, I couldn't live with myself if I released something that horrible.

But for everyone's sake, make it partly comedy.

It already is, the genre would definitely be horror/comedy. I don't think I'm capable of writing something very serious.

What kind of budget are we talkin' here?

$50,000 is the goal. There's gonna be a LOT of zombies in the movie and I want them to look good, rather than using the 99-cent fx kits you can buy from a closeout bin. There's also going to be a lot of props, and several different shooting locations. 50k is the minimum I'd like to have before pre-production. In the meantime I plan on just doing rewrites on the script itself.

They're already making an RE sequel, Rog.

Speaking of sequels, this zombie film movie I wanna make is already lined up for the perfect sequel. So if the first one goes well, filming a 2nd one will be a cinch.

Me and wreck were going to make a zombie movie

Well you guys can be in this one if I can get it off the ground.

And there's always this, but unless you live in Orange County, you're dead out of luck.

Lemme check... hrm, no damnit, I don't.

I might try the classified ad thing sometime, though (as with everything) I remain skeptical.

And do you expect to turn a profit?

If it's promoted properly (much of which I could handle since I know webmasters on lots of the biggest sites on the web), absolutely. At the very least, I would expect nothing less than breaking even on this one.

The best question on this thread. If you desperately need it, contact me, I can send you a bit of cash, only under the pretense that I can be a mindless zombie near the centre of the camera shot.

Ok, have 50k on you? haha, once the full 50k is raised I'd probably try to raise some extra funds on I-Mockery for the movie via donations. Could help for stuff like props, food, permits, and bail bonds.

Maybe you can get money from.......RICHIE RICH!

no seriously, cool idea, is it gonna be in Richmond?

Zhukov · #20

Place an ad in newspapers etc, giving "the chance of a lifetime" for people who want to be zombies, you could charge them $1 each. I would guess that there are a lot off zombie film fans who would love to be in a movie (50,000?), even if they don't get paid.

Not only would you get $50 thousand, but you would have an army of zombies to shoot some awsome scenes.

Being a zombie would be hard work - but you don't tell people that, and some zombies would quit, but you keep their money.

If you are less optimistic about zombie fan turnout, you could charge up to $5. I would pay $5 to be a zombie.

Later, you could write a book about how your zombie film was financed by zombies.

Did anyone notice Ninjavenom's new TWISTED SISTER avatar? That picture can be the horror movie alone.

James · #22

My mom knew Twisted Sister. They rule. Fuck you for making fun of Dee.

Mockery · #23

no seriously, cool idea, is it gonna be in Richmond?

Aye, that's where I'd like to film it. Richmond is a pretty cheap place to live, so it'd probably be a lot cheaper to film the movie here than in some really busy place like NYC.

Place an ad in newspapers etc, giving "the chance of a lifetime" for people who want to be zombies

Nah, I don't need 50,000 zombies. I'd need a lot more money than 50k if I did. But I have considered letting random people play zombies in the film for donating cash. Sometimes people donate cash just to get their name in the credits.
