Today we have a special guest post by Tyler Weaver on horror that inspired him, from Universal and Hammer Horror!
It takes strong tenacity and an unwillingness to quit, but it can happen. It wasn’t so long ago that I was just another face in the crowd of horror fans. Then I crossed the line into writing horror, then filming it. It’s a thin line that’s easy to cross, but it takes courage.
It’s been an incredible and nailbiting last 48 hours. We’ve seen a massive jump in backers for Veronica’s Haunt, to the point now that we’re over the halfway mark.
I wrote this a few months ago for a potential investor who had never invested in a film before in order to acquaint them with the process. It seemed only natural to put this up to help educate those interested in traditional movie investing.
This is another one of my prognostications of the future of film, but I’ll keep it brief and focused on one particular aspect of the moviegoing experience.
In which I foolhardedly forecast the near-term future of filmmaking from the social, technological, development, investment, and legal aspects.
If Veronica’s Haunt is funded ($735 to go), I will donate bone marrow after principal photography has concluded.
Crowdfunding might be the thing you’re looking for. It is an alternative film investment strategy that is much more straightforward and does not require a heavy burden of cash. But it can have lasting consequences for many years past the normal shelf life of the original film.
