I'm just wondering if anyone has ever considered registering their own company and looking for funding to make their own film?
It seems that we spend a hell of a lot of time hoping that our queries will appeal to someone, whereas we could just spent this time taking our scripts out and getting sh1t done ourselves.
Frighteningly enough, researching Producer as a career shows that there are NO FORMAL REQUIREMENTS. That's right: no need to know how cameras work, actors' rights, distribution deal contracts or even a business background - it's literally: get the cash, make the film. A total hit-or-miss.
So, if you've faith in your best screenplay, why not Do It Yourself?
I'd appreciate non-flamers posting replies (but know it's not going to happen).
EDIT: The topic's supposed to be in capital letters; I guess I missed that.
