Movie Money: Confidential
Documentary101 min
Veteran filmmaker Rick Pamplin digs into the often opaque world of independent film financing, using the untold funding story behind The Blair Witch Project as a case study. Working with industry expert Scott duPont, he gathers insider accounts on where movie money comes from, what investors look for, and why some projects move forward while others stall. Alongside the backstory of a low-budget horror film that became the most profitable independent movie in history, the documentary lays out the basics of raising capital, what works, what doesn’t, and how filmmakers go about finding backers.
