Question What Makes You Take a Film Project Seriously?

[Zoltan]

What Makes You Take a Film Project Seriously?​

You receive a new film project.

You know almost nothing about it yet.

What is the ONE thing that makes you stop and think: this is worth a closer look?

The concept?
The screenplay?
The team?
Cast?
Budget?
Audience potential?
The way it’s pitched?

And perhaps the more interesting question:

What is the ONE red flag that makes you lose interest almost immediately?

Writers, producers, directors, sales agents, distributors, investors - I’d be interested to hear how differently we see this from different sides of the industry.

No long answers needed.

One green flag. One red flag.

 

[Anderson-Mark-Ian]

Red flag - All about them, no manners, no interest in you or what you also have.

Green flag - Discussions, offering to simply hear about your work too, having more than just an idea.
