E.M.M.A. Movie Trailer
Emma did not have the funds to pay the cast or DP, so hired everyone from Craigslist for free. We made sure they had all the food and caffeine they needed. We did a Google search to find the cheapest props we could find. The lab coats were easy to find along with the red phone. Those were straight from Amazon. The smoke effects we were able to get through fake cigarettes. The class room was supplied to us by one of our college professors. The bulk of the money we spent went to renting equipment from adaroma.com, and most of that was purely insurance fees. We used cheap home depot lights and china balls for all of our lighting. The lenses and mic-ing equipment were all borrowed from friends. The movie on a whole roughly cost us a little over $2,000 between 2 people. It was tough, but well worth it all.
About E.M.M.A.
Imagine awakening one day to discover that you are not human. That you can memorize entire books cover to cover but not recall the day before. Imagine discovering that everything you have ever known and every memory you have is a lie...
What would you do? This is the story of Emma and what she did...

Just want to thank you for your materials and help over the past year. I could not have raised the $1.5 million or made this film without the materials you provided -- and for $99? The bargain of my career!

I'm now sending out my completed business plan/film proposal document to potential investors and the one comment I'm getting back almost immediately is that it's so well laid out and professional. Believe me, first impressions really do count.

This is perfect! I have potential investors but I had no idea how to prepare a professional investment package to present to them. (I'm an artiste', not a business person. :) ) The information is clear and easy to understand, and Melissa is very prompt in answering emails.

When I came across the Business Plan Tools and the Finance Guide, I felt like I could stop searching for the pot of gold...I’d found it. In one place, with clear, easy to follow materials and spreadsheets, my questions were answered.

Hi Melissa! I purchased Package #3 a couple of days ago, and I feel like I'm taking a crash course in film financing. So far, what I've read and learned has been invaluable. Thank you!

I've made short films before, but this is my first feature, and the first film I've tried raising money for. This template, actually the whole package, has been invaluable and well worth the money I spent on it. So much information is packed into what I got that I'm almost dizzy from it all.
